Very cool. Love it that the laces are perfectly level, that was pretty lucky. Nice capture. [revised addition]... I'm making a bet that you are "alansfreed" after seeing your great Steelers sports shots in the forum. :) Am I right?

I wish the shadow were on the same angle as the lines. Next time move the sun over some. :) Seriouslly, nice contrasts. The ball itself is a little washed out and the focus in the top right is just a bit out of focus for me.

The whole thing is slightly on the skew and that spoils it for me. Nearly an interesting picture.

I really like ths one - I like how all eyes are on the ball even though the crowd is blurred to create one mass of "crowd" I like the slight tilt which makes everyone lean right with the ball - it is going towards the right, isn't it? I like the regular splotches of color. hat-hat-hat...hand-haand-hand...yellow tag-tag-tag...face-face-face. I like the patterns they make. Although that ball is stationary, the patterns help to move it along. 8

Original idea. This was my favourite game for years. At school we had to play it. This isn't South Africa is it? Good composition you chose.

This shot just doesn't have a lot going for it IMHO. The ball isn't realy in that sharp of a focus. The crowd is just sitting there. There is no action with players. Nothing to keep my attention. Now if the crowd was going wild.... Best I can do (and I DO like the concept but it's a tough one to pull off well) is a 5.
