Could be a little sharper but I would guess the lighting/lens combo is more the problem than your technique. As such I won't score you down for that after all who has the more for the best lenses? not me!

too tight the crop for me, give them more space to move

Nice wrestling shot, but I think the expressions on the wrestlers' faces would make a far better shot.

good idea and framing...suggestions: shame about umpire's legs in bg. Could have cropped even further just to focus on heads and shoulders...might have made it more abstract. Coulour too yellow.......candidate for B/W?

Another kind of strength. Not quite brute force, not quite delicacy. Well-taken.

Good choice...wresting is 95% strength.

i feel their face out of scene - 8 (i believe with their faces in the scene would have create a better strength like this --> :6

These guys couldn't twine any closer, for sure. Hope they emerged unscathed. The photo came through nicely!

Definite show of strength - and you don't need either face to show it. The yellowish cast detracts a bit as does the ref's legs at the top.

I might have tinkered with the colors a little to get rid of some of the yellow cast to this one. It might have also been a little better to see their facial expressions.

For me this would have been a better photo if the white balance had been adjusted.

Was the green/yellow hue a choice or an accident? To me it makes them look sickly......................... looking at the back of their heads, blurry refs legs in the background and nothing else but floor bores me a bit too. Sorry. OTOH, I do see the "strength" being shown.

i thought a headlock always had to have an arm in there . . .

nice shot, good focus. i wonder how it would have looked in b&w . . .

The tint is a bit wrong, when the body strain it turns red, I can see the hits of the color on the bodies, but the tint it hiding it, from my point of view, making it less strong.

Interesting image and good DOF, but I feel it has a heavy yellow tinge to it, which doesn't help.
