Description

This black and white photograph captured by G L Askew Ii in Los Angeles focuses closely on the lower half of an athlete poised at the starting line. The subject's feet are firmly planted against metal starting blocks on a textured running track surface. The high-contrast monochromatic treatment emphasizes the muscular definition in the leg and the texture of the equipment. The composition places the viewer low to the ground, capturing a moment of intense athletic preparation.
