Good photo, just a bit of a highlight blown out at the wrist of the lower glove.

Comment by Dr.Confuser:
In my view, the only 10 in the submissions for this challengs. This is beautifully evocative. The worn gloves seem symbolic of the way boxing wears out the boxer. The old gloves seem nostalgicly out of step with the slick, monied sport boxing has become. The black and white works very well and seems to symbolize the black and white of olymics competition. Well titled. The the levels are perfect. The composition is perfect. The focus is nearly perfect. If you don't ribbon, no one deserves to! Good luck.

Very nice framing, I really like the tone. The condition of the gloves tells a story and fits with the year in your title. Great job...

Good luck...

Great toning..very evocative photo, and a good fit for the challenge.

Upon review of all the other entries, I've revisited this one, and I am giving it a 10. I think this is the best photo in this challenge, becuase you have succesfully captured the FEELING of the sport. Worn, beat up and scarred gloves. The black and white/toned photo and overall dark tones and subdued lighting gives a feeling of tiredness. Very well done!

You might get some opinions that boxing isn't a team sport. Well, I kind of agree, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and including the various trainers, doctors, coaches, etc. that are all behind the fighter.

Wow, what a nice photo. Even if these gloves weren't used on the 1952 Olympic team, it sure looks like they could have been. Excellent job.
