I took this shot tonight, playing with different looks to movement and motion of my kids football game, I think there is beauty in this shot, its not always whats crystal clear and crisp that makes a good piece of art, its color, movement, etc. I really like this one, just my opinion.
Oh, I agree in the beauty of this moment. Despite the blur of the movement, you can see him clearly enough and it almost gives him a powerful sense with all of the action around him. Great shot.
This is what you call 'flash and blur' photography which I happen to really like with some subjects. In my opinion this really is a great shot,I would have been proud if it were mine!
Great shot, with his head in the top 1/3 of the photo all the motion seeme to play around that center point. The strong saturation works well in this shot. It is like a cross between and abstract and a snapshot.
It's very good. I can see the football and a bit of the player's face and shoes. That's enough to let me know he's running for a goal. Then all the clashing helmets in the background just crack me up(oh, a pun). Really they add a lot to the picture. Good job.
Did you notice slippy's face in an army hat halfway up on the left?
I was all set to say the blur was too much, but the more I looked at it, the more it grew on me. It's actually quite a beautiful artistic shot. There's enough of the ball-carrier's face visible to give it some personality and emotional impact. The colors are nicely saturated. All in all, a top-notch image!
