Very, very cool choice of DOF and composition. Good choice on going B&W with this.

Really nice shot, but seems a bit bright! The concept and DoF are really well done, but I just feel a shorter exposure time would have made it so much better, to stop the shirts being blown out.

Good composition, and a sharp image of the ball...

i like that this is in black and white. i also like that the ball is not centered, which would have made the shot lose a lot of impact.

I like the use of DoF here and the fact that it just doesn't bank on being a pretty picture. What hurts it IMO are the gray tones which seem rather flat while the whites have way too much highlights.

yes alot of implied emotion in this image especially if you've been inthat spot. Nicely captured.

I like this photo. In fact, it's the first one I'm commenting on. But I wish that the hand and ball in the foreground were clearer. I like the composition, but the fact that everything is slightly blurry distracts from my overall enjoyment of the shot.

Nice, different perspective

I think your whites are too hot, seemingly over exposed. Nice perspective from behind the goal (I am there a lot shooting HS basketball)

Great DOF, sharp lines

I actually like this image, don´t know what it is but it just works for me. Perhaps because I am a basketball fan. Gave this a 7. Just watch the highlights next time, they are totally blown out in all the three guys shirts that are wearing white.

The drama of this is terrific. Even the wedding ring adds to it, suggesting other priorities to be dealt with. 9.

I imagine the lighting was not the best being in a gymnasium. Looks a bit harsh.

Really get a sense of anticipation here....good work

hope this isn't your best of 2005....

composition is ok, but that's it, everything else is quite dull....


just my 2¢
