A Different Type of Sport

Not sure where you had the chance to see this, but very cool :-) I like how you made it older looking by putting it in sepia... very cool. Good composition... wish the horse wasn't completely in shadows though, but I'm guessing this couldn't be helped... Is this one of those dinner places the knights castles or whatever. Pretty cool

Bocci ball? This is really interesting, not sure what you did here to get the outcome you got. I think it is pretty cool actually. A very artistic look at the sport, which I like, no one said sports had to be a straight on action person to person, background blurred shot :-) This is very cool, I love the black and white, and you can just kind of see whats happening without having to see the front of the people. I'm going to go out on a limb here and give this a -10- because it is so unique and interesting. Nicely done!

Nice catch with both players on the different sides in midair. I think I would have zoomed in quite a bit closer and made this a vertical shot to include just the two players and the ball... I think this would have had more impact and would have kept the viewers eyes where they should be, where the action is. As it is I think there is too much going on here. IMHO of course. It bothers me that you can't see either of the two main players face's but thats hard in volleyball. Nice action though, and pretty good color.

Nice action shot, very good exposure here. I wish he was more to the left hand corner, it would have been better composition I think although I do like the fact that there is some room for him to go into, I think there is almost too much... getting more of the back wave and less of the left side would have been nice, still a nice clear, simple, beautifully done shot... -9-

There's something off about this picture, I think it is the focus, but also maybe there is too much contrast? I'm not sure if thats what it is but it is a good captured moment in time. Not a lot of action here, and truthfully if it wasn't for the kids jersey I wouldn't necessarily think that this was sports.

Action to Follow.

Is that a fishing lure? really cool lure, almost looks like a bird or something?! It bothers me that theres no action in the photo, and really even though it says action to follow I just can't image anymore. I'm not sure what you were going for here, but it's not really a "sports" shot IMHO.

Frisbee Dog

This is a fun shot, I love the shadow! Great catch getting him off the ground... did he JUST catch the frisbee? I would have liked to have seen maybe a tiny bit more detail in the white but it's not a huge deal... pretty good composition. I wouldn't have included the border, but I'm not big on borders. Nice clear action shot, good job.

Face'n a 94 mph fastball

Good cropping here, obviously you couldn't get very close so I'm not going to complain about them not being bigger. Just curious where the ball is... I can't see it unless it's that blur on the left side? I like the motion of the bat, but I wish we could see the ball a little more clearly. So did he hit the shot? Personally I would have cropped out the extra warm up batter on the upper right, but thats just me...

I like this shot a lot. I'm not sure why you choose to put SO much space in the front, I think this actually could have been very effective as a wide short shot. Great action here, it's almost like a whole story book, lots of stuff happening, I almost wonder if there isn't too much. Very effective in black and white! For some reason I just really like the unique look to this shot. -8-

Nice detail to the ball here, but not exactly what I've been looking for in this challenge. Nice job however getting the detail in the white laces, fairly good lighting, just not what I think this challenge is about.
