Failure to Keep

I had exactly the same idea, to go to a football match and take a picture of someone falling down or getting scored upon for this challenge or someone celebrating or scoring a goal for the success challenge. Didn´t have time though so I am glad to see this shot in the challenge. Very well done, love the moment and his expression is priceless. Good image quality too, from the looks of it my best guess is that this is a shot by Arnit, if not, take that as a compliment. 8 from me.

I really like the lighting in this shot, you definately know what you are doing in that department. Not as fond of the slanted composition and angle this was taken from but it´s not bad at all, just not hitting the spot with me, something off about it that I don´t like. 7 from me.

Shot is pretty cool, like it a lot, reminds me of Roberts photos (Bear_Music) and that is meant as a compliment. Love the lighting in this shot. However, this doesn´t scream "failure" at me without the title so I "only" gave this an 8.

Broken Bat

Shame you weren´t able to take the photo at the time when the ball was in the frame too, preferrably in the middle of it breaking the bat, THAT would have been cool, hard, I know but definately cool. This is also pretty cool though so don´t get me wrong :)

I think the composition could have been better here. For starters, having all that grass in the shot but leaving out just a part of the roof. Secondly, cutting off the sign like that is never a good idea, having it half in just draws the eye there. Thirdly this isn´t really shot at an interesting angle, just dead on. I would suggest you backing up or using a wider lens and try that next time.

Nice idea and pretty well executed. I still like fire shots way better when there is some texture to the flame, not blown out like in this photo but anyway, nice shot.

Nice job on the PP, looks like an image taken around the turn of the 19th century, I love the feel of this image. 8 from me.

Losing the Game

I think a facial expression would have worked better with this shot, there is no failure registered from his stance or the way he is holding his helmet. For all we know he could be smiling or putting on his helmet. If this were shot from the other way around however, him being angry or something and holding the helmet like that, THAT would have conveyed a sense of failure or dissapointment. 5 from me.

Nice choice of DOF, works well here in isolating the subject from an appropriate backround.
