Great action shot. I almost feel like a part of the crowd. This shot portrays a sort of "intimacy" between players and spectators. All the red and white are somehow exciting and the similar actions of the players on this side add a lot of interest to the image.

I really like the symmetry produced by the two guys by the net. I wonder if cropping the image around them might have enhanced the effect.

The sepia works well. It gives it a timeless and nostalgic feel. The cropping also helps to enhance the impact of the action and the border works well too. There is something odd about the man on the right. He looks a bit like a cardboard cutout :)
Good Luck.

The action in this image is quite compelling. I think it would benefit from being cropped tighter around the three main figures to enhance the action. Also I wonder how it would look in Black and White. I think this would make it a bit more timeless or sort of anonymous which would again enhance the action. Good luck.

I love the contrast between the skyline and the field. The colours in the image are beautiful. It is a little soft in that it hasn't got a great deal of contrast. It provides a great sense of space and scale.

No doubt this one gets an instant laugh. It certainly makes an impact. You could just about crop it aroud the young fella's face and make an image out of that. I'm imagining his face in black and white with a touch of noise added. His eyes nose and brow are really expresive. This image does kind of grow on ya. Good Luck.

The composition works really well. I think the contrast between the crowd and the field enhances the scale of the scene. I wonder if cropping the sky out of the background might tighten the attention to the action on the field. The colours are vibrant and this adds to the richness of the scene.

I love this image. I believe it has been artistically executed and produced. The sense of space is awesome and the contrast to the "action" element is brilliant. You have really emphasized the isolation of the subjects through the starkness of the way you have treated the colour. This is inspirational. Thank you for this entry.

Excellent capture of a candid moment. It may also work well if it was cropped around the three central figures from their waste to above their heads to really get in on the core of the moment.

I think the composition really works well as it gives a real sense of the action as well as a sense of the environment that the game is being played in. I can almost feel the grass under my feet. :) The light people work well against the shadows of the trees. The shadows in the foreground add interest and depth to the scene as does the light on the upper sections of the leaves. The more I look at it the more dynamic it looks. I think the motion blur is good as it adds to the energy. The only thing I could pick on is a bit of over exposure on the really bright elements in the shot. This image could also work really well if it was cropped fairly close to the top and bottom of the people. Good Luck.
