Nice details...I still remember your shot with your kids on the fields next to each other, one of my favorites from the last B&W challenge. You always have nice tones on your conversions, nicely done.

Comment by bassbone:
the ref makes the shot - stoic, impartial, not looking at the players?!!!

heh - when i have to watch a hockey game, it's played on ice and in a flippin cold arena! I think I'd much rather watch this.

I may have to get a Canon one day. The low noise level at ISO 1600 is amazing. Mine would be horrible. A lot of components have great clarity in this and I think it's fun that we can see the ball(?) too. Great action capture.

Nice action shot, would be nice if you got them facing the camera. Of course, I know sometimes that just doesn't happen... Really nice job on the B&W conversion.

This would be great if it just had a little catchlight in the eye. Exposure for the white feathers is perfect.

Comment by Ecce_Signum:
So often this type of 'action' shot can be left flat however the ref's stance and just a little movement in the players left leg helps this to tell a story. At first I thought the ladies room was messing up the picture but on reflection it helps the image imho.
