 Just some wrestling coaches at a Tournament. Something about the right angles / stripes & intersections that appealed to me.

Ha! This image tickles my funny bone. They look like rejects from a situp contest or something.

I like the use of contrast in this image, the black & white versus the colorful floor is very nice. The Focus is pretty decent, seems to mostly center on the ref to the right.

The lighting is iffy. I have problems with indoor shots myself so it probably needed flash as the ambient lights (assuming its in a gym) were probably useless. Not sure what I could suggest to help with that. The colors are a little on the bland side, possibly washed out from the flash, again I'm not sure how you'd be able to compat it, unless in post processing you gave the saturation a bit more of a nudge.

Otherwise I think its a good shot, has a humorous aspect that that the title highlights and the play of color against monochromes adds interest. There are some aspects that could use work and I'm not sure if the composition couldn't be shifted a bit to add a little more oomph or not, but I gave it a 5.

LOL! Extra points for humor. As for the image, it's very snapshoty looking.

Humorous. The lighting could have been improved though to improve my rating.
