very good capture, action stopped and backgroung blurred nicely, but would be better with a little more at the bottom, to see all of shoes and a bit more down there

Good capture. Crop is a little tight on the feet, but nice one.

Great action shot with a perfect background. I could see thsi one on the sports page. Crop was a little too right on the bottom - you have to get those $300 pair sneakers in the photo. Nice crips focus and great colors. Great job.

Great action shot.

Great action capture! Would have been even better with just a little bit more of their shoe soles, and the left and right cropped off.

Nice Capture. 9

Nice action shot,feet lack standing ground though,8.

This goes in order of what I notice first:
1) Great action shot.
2) Their faces are too dark. But since it was a candid capture, (at least it looks like it) then the only thing to do is work on it in photoshop to bring out their faces.
3) Crop it tighter to them, maybe eben to just from their hands and heads. The other boys really have nothing to do with the title so giving more direct focus on the determination in these two's faces would be great.
Score: 6

Nice action freeze. Fits the topic.

This is a nice action shot but your headline doesn't suggest a story. It's not really a headline in fact. A headline would inform the viewer with facts and lead him into the story.

The title "Power Forward" makes it hard to view this as an event. What saves it for me is the onlookers which suggest that this is more than just two kids playing one-on-one. Presumably this is some kind of sporting event that took place. If I saw this in a newspaper with that headline I would have no idea what the photo was meant to inform me of.

It's good photo. I'm not sure about the central placement of the subjects.

very nice interaction

Excellent capture, I like the sense of action here. I think a more "newsworthy" title would have been better than the one you used. 9

I hope this does well, good luck...

could have added more of the frame at the bottom ... good angle ... very well focussed . 6

Nice action shot. Excellent use of DOF to try and reduce distracting background. A vertical crop around just the two boys would probably work much better.

nice action shot! i should have cut a bit lower, it's a bit annoying that a slice of the feet are missing.
06/23/2004 04:29:49 AM
Very nice action shot. Headline needs work.
06/23/2004 04:29:43 AM
Excellent action photo. You might want to crop out the kids on the left who are looking at something else, which would focus more attention on the subject. Very nice job!
06/23/2004 01:13:14 AM
Nice shot, I would have liked to see much tighter cropping though
