7 Red Stripes

Comment by HBunch:
There definately are 7 stripes, but I'm quite sure I feel that the stripes are your main subject. The main subject to me feels like the entire flag, and that would put you in the mind to expect 7 flags, but I am not too picky, so I get your point. lol. Just an observation really. The background is kind of bland, but that's not all bad because then there is nothing distracting there either. Focus seems ok. ~Heather~

Challenge: "Photograph 7 of the MAIN subject". Great shot, but I wouldn't consider the RED stripes to be the MAIN subject.

nice tight shot. you have to use really fast shutter speeds with flags flapping in the wind to totally freeze all movement. and, the upper right corner is a little motion blurred. the other way to go is to intentionally blur more of the flag with a lower speed.

This is a nice shot and i wished you would have taken advantage of the limit allowed to make this image sing. Yes, the referee is the final authority in the field. As is, this image is a 4, but I am going to make believe I am seeing it bigger. lol Bumping up to 6

If it were a ref in someones face...that would show authority, but the ref picking up a penality flag doesn't ring my bell.

This picture would work even better without the legs behind the ref, they don't really add anything.

Larger image would've had more impact, but good shot.

If he doesn't straighten up soon we may be looking at another penalty : )

I like it and gave it a good score. but if it were larger, I would have bumped it a point.

I don't like the way it's cropped. It's like he's asking for one of the players to kick him in the behind. If your intent was to take away his authority, then you were a complete success. Sorry to sound harsh, but that's the way I see it...
