| I missed the voting on this challenge, but you would have earned my 10. Great shot, what more can I say that hasn't already been said. Kudos. |

This is an amazing silhouette. Glad to see someone with the same camera as me snagging some ribbons. :)
The warm tones in the background are lovely and really help the soft silhouettes sink into a great context. The position of the sun could not have been better, either. |

| its all about the angle of the hoop here. sillhouette, yeah yeah. sunset, yeah yeah. but that hoop and the curve in conjunction with everything else is just tops. It feels like the hoop is life-like bending down and over towards its pursuers. |

| This is an incredible silhouette and I really like the gradient effect in the sky as the sun goes down. The detail and action of the two players is great as is the unusual shape of the basketball net (at least I've never seen one like that). Bumping up! |

|
09/07/2006 01:22:54 AM |
| Spectacular shot. Not a voting point, but it seems an odd position for the players, though. Shouldn't the right-hand guy be trying to block the shot instead of facing the basket? |

| Beautiful and stunning capture! Love how it all comes down to the shapes of the silhouettes that compliment all the elements and the lovely warm tones of golds, reds, and oranges. Love the action of the two men shooting hoops. I see so many curves in this composition the curve of the basketball hoop, the curve of the ball, and even the curve of the setting sun. The composition is wonderfully composed with the action of the two men jumping to get the ball and the sun (another sphere) resting right between them. Simple, beautifull and elegent in it's presentation I think this will easily be in the top 20 if not the top 5. Good work. |
