Out of focus

2012-11-17_16-35-07_02-mm

November 17th, 2012 — It’s not exactly out of focus it’s just there’s a limited amount that’s in focus. It is most assuredly badly cropped but to be completely honest I pushed the shutter too late and missed the shot so it’s not really cropped at all. However, for some reason I kind of like it. From the Canadian cyclocross championships at South Surrey Athletic Park.
