Prior to the tournament, kids got the opportunity to wrestle.

The tournament began with the opening ceremony

Wrestlers glare and try to intimidate their opponents.

Then the fight is on.

Very nice. Seems the white balance was handled very well since arenas usually have difficult light situations. Are these crops or were you very close?

Thanks for sharing,
Arif

Dave -

Superb series for content, action, light, color and detail.

Thanks, Arif and Stuart. I did crop a bit, some more than others. I was on the floor and used the c/v 15, a 28mm, 35mm and 50mm from there.

Great shots! Maybe TOO clear on the photo of Ama!

Thanks, Dan. Yes, I didn't do Ama any favors. Here's a few more shots. I took over 500 images in the two days of the tournament, with more keepers than I thought I would have, but I'm still getting used to using a rangefinder.
