| This is almost like two separate shots for me; what is the referee doing? Who is he pointing to and why? It's almost as if he was warped there from somewhere else, caught in the middle of calling a foul in a game no longer being played. I love it. |

| Really clean shot (iso 1600!!!); good triangle composition of players and ref; good contrapuntal of players vs ref; and well, the ladies' room jumps it up a notch. All the tones in your conversion (auto!) work. T |

| Nice details...I still remember your shot with your kids on the fields next to each other, one of my favorites from the last B&W challenge. You always have nice tones on your conversions, nicely done. |

the ref makes the shot - stoic, impartial, not looking at the players?!!!

heh - when i have to watch a hockey game, it's played on ice and in a flippin cold arena! I think I'd much rather watch this.
I may have to get a Canon one day. The low noise level at ISO 1600 is amazing. Mine would be horrible. A lot of components have great clarity in this and I think it's fun that we can see the ball(?) too. Great action capture. |

| Nice action shot, would be nice if you got them facing the camera. Of course, I know sometimes that just doesn't happen... Really nice job on the B&W conversion. |

| So often this type of 'action' shot can be left flat however the ref's stance and just a little movement in the players left leg helps this to tell a story. At first I thought the ladies room was messing up the picture but on reflection it helps the image imho. |

| I love the referee's posture in this; it's a good capture of an action shot, and having the ladies dressing room & the ref there make it great. I like the conversion to B&W - the contrasts seem perfect. |

What? You mean this isn't the typical day in the average home?
Dad: "Do it because I said so! Go! Up to your rooms...Now!"
Tweens: "Hol' up! Hol' up! Hol' up! I think Dad's talking to us! What's you say, Dad?"
It would be funny if it wasn't so close to the truth. :(
The photo, however, is great! I agree,...the moment and expressions are priceless. :) |

| I love the look on the ref! I also love that they're completely ignoring him. Very fun shot! |

| A moment in time, that choice which depends on a physical reflex, the lens on the camera, and pre-determined settings. Fundamentals which can reveal an image but which have many variable results. These are the things I think of when viewing your photo. |

| Hey if it works. Our gym is also pretty dark. Can't take a good picture in there to make me happy. This is actually pretty good. Great socks.. hehee.. I wonder how that kid can see past all that hair. I really like the ref's stance. |

Ooooooh, I am looking so forward to seeing more of your photos from your weekly activities. Hockey offers so many awesome action photos. We even have a minor league hockey team here in San Antonio, "The San Antonio Rampage", and I LOVE going to the games whenever we can. But, being Texas and all, we wouldn't even think of having anything hockey related for the kids. I hope some day that changes, but for now, I'll just vicariously enjoy your kids' games :)
Nice moment you captured here :)

| Nice action photo, however the ref is a study by himself... Excellent range of tones. |
