*Critique Club*
This is a tough shot to critique as there is very little, if anything, wrong with it.
The black and white treatment is done well and the details, from the sweat in the black stripe of one uniform to the tatoo and muscle tone of other players, are all excellent.
I think you did a great job with the title, as it helps the viewer see what you want them to see. It took a good minute or two before I caught the events happening to the right. Seems like another story unfolding there. While twister would have included everyone in the shot, your title was powerful enough to keep the viewer focused on your primary subject, not always easy when taking shots of this type.
The expressions captured were also great, I especially like the one of the player coming up in the middle, it is almost like he is saying what every male viewer is thinking!!
Some things I noticed after looking long and hard, the railing banner is a bit askew - I noticed that in most of your outakes it is fairly level - does it hurt anything - no.
There is some noise in the background and the blur seems a bit much - but on the other hand, there are several "points" of light that actually work as a "frame" around your main subjects.
I might have liked it cropped in a bit on the left side (removing those two players), as is though it is good and only a minor distraction!!
Overall, after years of watching and playing American football (both organized and without pads) it makes me want to check this game out. |

| Nothin' like the ol' trauma to the groin shot! Perfect timing, and the sharpness is impressive. Looks great in B/W, I'm guessing the color version is pretty gaudy. |
