I was looking at your picture again. It's better each time I see it.

I just realized that it looks like player 1 is lifting the highest player up by his shorts.

That's one MAJOR wedgie!

I love good sports photograghy. Perhaps cropped a little to bring facial expressions into focus.

Ok! He didn't jump that high. . . did he?! Considering the night game, excellent shot. Like the way they are all anticipating the action of the football. BOL

Fantastic capture of the action. I think the background elements - the fog and out of focus spectators - detract a lot from the overall effect.

Great shot!!! This could be the winner. Nice misty look, yet the players are cristal clear. Good shutter speed and a great moment. My favorite yet. (update: my only 10)

Great shot, great moment - and with a little mystery too (where the hell are the hoops' three-quarters?) - and a great study in effort. 9

One reason this shot works so well is the superb capture of expressions. I also like the "shape" of the group players taken as a whole. The two raised players are so well captured mid-motion that there is a real element of wanting to look closely to understand what is happening. Well cropped to provide enough backrgound and to create a good composition. I really like this. And I don't even like sport!!!

The only thing I don't like about this is that the defenders hand is in the way of the receivers face. I would have loved to have seen the emotion on his face, but its not like this is something you could help ;)

Ah, the good old days (for me anyways). Well composed Line Out. I wonder if adding some motion blur in PS would have helped or hindered. Nice shot.
