Great Job! Don't know how you could top these photos but I'll certainly enjoy watching you try!

They're all amazing shots but the last is my favorite. One senses a compassion between the the two competitors, that one hopes would be shown towards all. There is only one gold. Thanks

I really like all your images, the in camera cropping, composition, clean background, etc. I also really like all your stories that go with the images of the day. Although today I read your blog before watching the men's gymnastics and you ruined the ending for me - it's OK though, your stellar images made up for it!

Keep up the great work and I look forward to the rest of your Olympic images!

Vincent, I have followed your images from when you first arrived and they are incredible, inspiring enough to get moving on plans for Vancouver 2010. I love the colors of the wrestling and the facial expressions are just fantastic.

I can't imaging the sheer number of images you must be editing through each day but I am glad we can all benefit from being able to see them almost real time, keep up the good work, thanks. Scott

I have a request for you, Mike and Donald.

Could you take some photos of the photographers' positions in the various venue?

For example you take a photo of the venue with a 15mm lens and with some arrows you show us where photographer can stay. I already saw some positions on tv, but not so many.

I think that I really appreciate if you can do it, especially in track&field (Athletics) and other sports too.

thank you

Vincent, I read your post of yesterday and today with much admiration, your images are superb. As an amatuer photographer (just starting out and quite late in life) I can only dream of reaching your standard. It is great to see a sports photographer taking great creative shots instead of just the standard, run of the mill pictures that we nearly always see in the daily press (naturally there are many exceptions) that do not capture the actual feeling of the sport, yours do!

Fantastic work.

Kind regards

Hi Vincent,

Your vision of the Olympic Games is amazing, vibrant and soulful. The photos are alive, cheerful and bold. Your vision is a sight for soar eyes! After having so little sleep, I'm simply astonished. Any way, who needs the sleep during the Games where the energy of the competition is on the highest level.

I'm looking forward to your new challenges.

Best regards,

Kristina (Croatia)
