		| | I'm quite surprised that this is the only sport-related bench in this challenge.  The idea of being benched was the first thing to come to my mind when this challenge was announced, though I didn't enter.  I think you've captured the idea of "losing" very well here with the cheerleaders standing in the background, but I'm less fond of the processing.  I don't mind the selective de-saturation as much as I usually do (perhaps because it's subtle, but I'm not fond of the diffuse glow or whatever is giving that effect. |

		| | Great emotion and composition, just ease up a bit on the processing and let the player's emotion draw attention to itself. In sports, outside of advertising, we rarely see heavily processed images. In this case, just a little bit of editing can go a long way. |

		| | Reminds me of my poor Seahhawks ... the lost season. You really caught the disappointment of defeat. Well done. |

		| | I would have like this more if the player was alone in the picture. |

		| | Though I don't think the number is right for it, it gives me the feel he's a kicker and he just missed a crucial field goal.  I do rather like the desat on this. |

		| | I was sure there would be more of this type of shot...it was one of my thoughts! Nice job! |
