Not a fan of the motion blur here.

Everything is a little too out of focus for me.

a faster shutter would give a sharper image

Needed a little faster shutter speed. I know it's not easy to get at a night game

too blurry. looks like the focus is close, but you really need to stop the action to have a killer shot.

The photo is blurry. Good action catch.

lil too much motion blur in this show. Doesn't seem like there's enough light either. The two kinda play off each other I guess.

Action IS being shown by motion, yes, but my personal opinion is that there is too much blur here and not enough definition. In addition, it's so dark. I would have hyped the colors and contrasts more - if that were possible given your equipment and situation. Anyway, good luck in the challenge.

Difficult to get night shots when you have to rely on the field lighting. Sorry but you have lost a lot of clarity because of it.

Hmm, I gave this a 4 the first time around (just my quickview vote) because of the lack of focus. On a second look I think I may have been a bit hasty. The 22 is clear enough and appears to be the main subject of your photo. With the title (minus the period) there does seem to be a bit of grace to this shot. While it is still not my favorite for this round, I am bumping this up to an 8.

not a good use of blur
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Too much blur, even the audience is blurred. Maybe a faster ISO?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

When you want to achieve the sensation of movement by having the people or objects that are moving blurry, it's better that the rest of the picture is not blurred.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I hate to judge because my camera doesn't get action much better, but everything is blurry. Some blurriness for effect may be ok, but this is overkill.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I agonized over scoring this photo, because you certainly met the challenge guidelines. But I just think it's too out of focus to be considered a good photograph.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

If any one player were in atleast partial focus it'd be really cool. You can actually use a flash in a really low shutter speed to keep the main subject lit and you get this awesome effect: everything else is motion blurred including alot of subject but their face is super sharp and clear.

I know what you were getting at, but you didn't quite get it. Nice effort, though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

You've certainly captured motion, but I'd say it's very difficult to use a slow shutter on a game of football, just due to changes in direction. The contrast on the shot seems a bit low. I think I'd have tried auto-levels or auto-contrast to try and bring out the green a little brighter as well as other elements of the shot. Good try.

I really like the motion blur, but think it would be more effective if the background were not in motion and also if it were a bit more level. At that distance, I guess the only way to do that is with a tripod. Still, this is a nice action shot.
