the shadows are terrible, you need to be aware of the background and the lighting. I guess this is taken with a flash, and it really shows. Sorry to be so brutal.

Nice shot.
I interpreted the challenge to be produce a shot without motion blur, which this has lots of.

Hi PeeCee,

this has some sad overtones with the Morcombe Bay Cockle Pickers incident, but back to the image...

my feeling is that the brown and the blue don't really work together too well. I have a suspicion that this would be very good indeed in monochrome. It might give the sky some 'power' which it lacks in colour.

Give it a try.

don't know what a check swing is but i like the image. would have preferred the background to be out of focus in order to really make the players stand out

SO how did you manage to avoid being arrested ;-)

I love this - very clean, uncluttered and so sharp. One of my top ten for the challenge

Needs a contrast boost - feels a little washed out. Otherwise good image
