Photographer's Narrative

 

Max Rohn, a retired Navy third class petty officer, was taking turns with his teammates tossing a discus while practicing for the Invictus Games, which were just days ahead. The nets around the tossing circle were causing a nice natural vignette and also a shadow on the person in the circle when they would wind up. I wanted to somewhat silhouette him and capture him winding up on his prosthetic leg so it could stand out.
