Birmingham Half Marathon... revisited

I shot these photographs a few years ago. Although some of the images may not be classed as technically correct, they still remain some of my favourites
I went back to the original files and edited them again. I was keen to keep the photographs looking and feeling simple and uncomplicated, allowing the emotions of the event and the participants to be conveyed.
