Too bad the keeper is out of focus.

Wow almost identical shots back to back. I know these are the same teams playing plus the ball is the same. Anyway, this one is better then the other one, the colors are more vivid. I imagine this is one of the ribbon winners.

Hmmm. I'll give you this one because swimming does have relays. Plus it is a great shot.

The Block

Is it a block or is it a spike. The photo is awesome but the title throws me a bit. Still it's a very nice capture.

I really like the high-key you've used here. It gives this shot a nice documentary feel to it. Nice work and good luck in the challenge.

This is a great shot. The only suggestion I'd make is crop out the bottom just below the star at her elbow. That's it. The deep of field is awesome.

I don't know why this one didn't win. Still one of the best shots of the challenge. Congrats on the top 5.

Beautiful Park soon to be a Golf Course
by Sonifo

This is a nice photo, I like the long shadows. I have one problem about the title. It is editorialized. Why you may think it is a beautiful park, the reader may not. With headlines try to stick to the facts. Say this photo is for a story about local citizens upset that this park is going to become a golf course. How about "Proposed Course Location Angers Locals" The story and caption could tell the reader where the location is.

Maybe you could have cropped just above the waist. and maybe a little tighter up top too. Good work and good luck in the challenge.
