Unfriendly Territory

This is really quite good. You've got the ball in the photo, which is very importatn and you show some great action in the fact the guy is going down... I wish I could see more facial expressions, but thats hard because of the helmets. The main person is quite centered, but I'm not sure you could have cropped any differently. The guy upper left bothers me, the fact that he has his head cut off, but nothing you could do there. Overall a very good sports photo. -8-

Bound For Glory....

I like the idea here... however to make this more effective I might have gone for an obvious swing to the golf club, slowing the shutter quite a bit would have been really cool, although challenging to get the shot it would have really added to the action of this photo. As it is it just looks like the club is sitting still on the grass right behind the ball. I love your DOF though. Also nice job leaving room in the photo for the ball to travel. -7-

Kicking Katie

Funny title. amusing shot, however I guess I don't really find this to be a great sports shot, because of the lack of a ball, had there been a ball in the photo this would have been much better. I like the expressions though and especially "Katie" Just wish there was a ball in there...

Airheads Playing Volleyball

I'm not sure how you achieved this in camera but i don't really like what happened to it. I just don't really find this to be an amusing, or attractive photo, and it just doesn't look good to me. This might have had the makings of a good sports photo if you didn't have the weird things on it. Sorry.

Pedal Faster

This is really quite cool. I'm curious how you caught this, how much you cropped, if this person was actually cycling by etc. avery unique sports shot indeed :-) Great composition, everything is very well done, I would have liked it maybe a little brighter but I understand that probably wasn't possible. Was the bike stationary? I don't know how you could get it otherwise. I'm going for a -9- on this shot. Well done!

Into the Unknown

The lighting here is very cool... and the action of that one moving pawn is great :-) I'm not sure how you did that (a string?) without using your fingers but it's pretty cool, Looks like they are moving on their own accord, hence playing a sport :-) I like your spotlighting effect here, very nicely done. This is a good artsy take on sports challenge. I can't decide whether it is a sport or not, but I was kind of looking for human interaction (thats my point of view) still a solid -8- though. nice job :-)

Racking

Comment:
Just curious what racking is, I've never heard of it. This looks like dressage to me. I would have cropped in a LOT... So that you get some of the crowd watching, and the horse and person but without the blown out background and the tons of extra ring.

head over heels for football

Great action here! There is so much going on in this photo! One good rule in sports is to crop as tightly as possible, there is a lot of extra grass around that you could have cropped out.... Love that guy in the air though!

Field Hockey ACTION!

Comment:
I like the action that is happening here, good catch however I'm bothered by the fact that there is no ball present in the picture, I was always trained that a good sports photo has to have the ball in it. Thats just what I learned, otherwise nice job... I might have cropped tighter also. -6-

Pool Balls in Motion

great job with the motion here :-) nicely done... good composition, love the kind of ghostly hand... I actually think it might have been nice to crop out the wall at the top, I don't think it would have taken anything away from the shot, and would have gotten rid of the distracting lightness of the wall. -7-
