 university of illinois football - practice

I wasn't gonna enter this challenge, I shot this for our school paper today, then noticed, hey there are a lot of shoes in this shot. It doesn't blatantly fit the challenge like usual for me, but hey - shoes!

Good composition, exposure. Colorful and interesting, Shoes aren't the main thing noticed here as they should be for this challenge, but the picture is an overall success. Good job. 9

The composition works well for a sports shot, but it's a line of footballers if we're honest and not a lins of shoes. Doesn't fit the brief. Could have changed your viewpoint slightly by getting down and just catching the 'line of shoes' you mention in the frame, and nothing else.

I like this! Much different than most of the others in this challenge.

Extra points for creativity! : )

This is a great photo, it tells story and has a lot going for it technically. However, it is a big stretch in a "shoe" challenge. Yes, there ARE shoes in this photo, but they are very unimportant and one of the last things we're likely to look at whilst studying this lovely pic.

nice pic, but for this challenge, maybe more shoes and less people would have been better? mho

I this is cool. Its just nice to look at I like the bright orange and the repetition. Although...I marked it a 6 because without knowing the challenge category I dont think anyone would know the focus was on "Shoes"

Is this more about football than shoes? Maybe getting lower to the grass to make the shoes more the main point would have been adventageous.

Interesting shot, got a good storyline in it .. but probably not strong enough on shoes I feel - 5

You nailed this picture. I kept thinking that maybe a tighter shot would have been better, but I think you did it absolutely right. Great Job - 8 -

A strong photo that really expresses a story.
The composition is just off by a little bit, IMO, but I'm not quite sure how to fix it.
The color really pops out of this one... perhaps just a bit too much in the orange of the pants.

The shoes don't seem to be the main subject.
 08/31/2005 08:11:42 AM
good pic but I feel some other angle would have been more interesting.8.
