Now on first sight I thought this was Granny holding the Newborn's hand - but no - on closer inspection the small hand is fully formed and the nails possibly manicured (the varnish on the older hand could have been improved). Good try, but tacky.

that rim of light makes this shot! Way to punch up an otherwise bland photo!

There's really no action to this photo, but the composition is wonderful and the lighting is good.

VEry interesting and original choice of subject and interesting use of light and space. Nice colours and the border suits the subject well.

Interesting... this might have been very cool for another challenge, but for me it's really not a sports shot, although it's definitely related to sports. I love your title though, very very clever :-) Interesting lighting at the very top... I think I would have liked maybe a ball coming in from the side or something, just to give it some action... but thats just me.

I didn't vote on this challenge, but I did look at all the pictures, and this is hands down (pardon the pun) the best of the lot. Compositionally I think you nailed it - nice crop, great lines, nice DOF. I think technically it could be improved a little - diffused light would eliminate the hot spots of the baby's fingernails, and the reds seem a little overdone, accounting for some of the grain. Really all it needed was better lighting, but giventhe subject I can see how that might be difficult. I'd give it a 9, and I don't give many of those.
