Extra Info:
I went to get a shot looking into the tunnel from the beach end where the sun would be behind me. On the way there I saw this group ahead of me and got one quick shot. It was the only shot from the session that was worth keeping.

Michael, you should join our rigatoni-party too!

I think you are probably right about the blurred background. Nice to see one of the more challenging (and interesting) images of the group.

Thanks for the comments. I wanted a blurred background as I felt a sharp scene would detract from the challenge subject.

Tough to nail a shot like this. I think you'd need a tripod, and at least two frames if not more stacked to bring the background and foreground figures into tack sharp focus.

There is so much purpose in the strides of these young people. It gives life to the photo.

Excellent composition; I like the silhouette effect; it certainly fits the theme. The only "knock" is the background bokeh and subject matter does not match the quality of the group image (IMO, of course).
