Ummmmm... I think this would include "players"
06/08/2004 04:21:52 PM
Perhaps crop up the bottom a bit, but otherwise a great shot.
06/08/2004 01:31:25 PM
I guess I'd consider these guys 'players'...
06/08/2004 12:11:45 PM
Without players? Good pic though.
06/08/2004 12:06:30 PM
Sorry but your weren't supposed to have anyone in the photo. (2)
06/08/2004 02:40:25 AM
Beautiful stop-motion shot! The colors and detail are excellent..... 8

for Challenge: Team Sports Without Players

But these are players
06/08/2004 12:14:39 AM
Without the Players?????? Whoa!
06/07/2004 04:52:05 PM
remember, no players, but very nice action shot!
06/07/2004 04:37:24 PM
Great catch!
06/07/2004 10:18:14 AM
Superb capture of the action. The facial expressions and body positions are fantastic. Background detracts - it may hav been better to open up full and focus only on one of the 2 runners - with shallow DoF. (But how is this a team sport "WITHOUT" players...)
06/06/2004 04:56:02 PM
Great shot, if you had got the front guy's hand and foot in the shot it would have been even better, but 'Team Sports Without Players'? I think not!
06/06/2004 03:33:30 PM
This photo, while INCREDIBLE and beautifully shot, doesn't really meet the challenge's requirements since it has players in it!
06/06/2004 01:20:46 PM
There's players........
06/06/2004 09:51:58 AM
I know you're getting killed in the scoring because of the players :(. Thought I'd let you know you have a fine capture. Background is a bit distracting as is the head of the person on the grass.
06/06/2004 03:04:58 AM
I know that Track and Field is indeed a team sport, but you have players in your 'Team Sports Without Players' picture. Great picture, though....
06/05/2004 09:07:03 PM
Team sports without players?
06/05/2004 07:52:19 PM
Great picture, a little faster shutter speed would have really stopped the motion cleanly. I also might have laid the rake down before the race.

Also, I am assuming that this is a picture of the team shot put competition, since this would be a 1 if I didn't make that assumption.
06/05/2004 04:10:52 PM
Its a great shot but the players are in the picture!
06/05/2004 03:01:59 PM
i believe these would qualify as players... this doesn't meat the challenge. sorry :(
06/05/2004 11:07:05 AM
Team Sports *Without* Players
06/04/2004 11:00:06 PM
very nice!! I like this one a lot. The pole vaulters in the background are a little distracting.
06/04/2004 10:43:01 PM
I think I see players, team? good photo though
06/04/2004 10:38:43 PM
An individual sport with the 'players' as well. Good one.
06/04/2004 10:21:50 PM
These guys were just testing the track, not the actual competitors ; ) Good shot, but i'll have to mark it down for having players.
06/04/2004 05:18:15 PM
Like the picture but the players are here so I'm going to give it a low score. Just wanted to let you know.
06/04/2004 05:00:36 PM
Wow - absolutely great photography. Technically, doesn't meet the challenge since it is all about the players, but wonderful shot.
06/04/2004 03:33:42 PM
Wow...excellent. The slight bit of motion blur is perfect to capture the feeling of speed. I'm not sure Track qualifies as a "team sport", but it IS a great photo. Unfortunately, you missed the part about "...Without Players".
06/04/2004 03:17:40 AM
Emmm.... without player .. remember :)
06/03/2004 05:28:46 PM
Oops - the players managed to sneak into this one?
06/03/2004 04:30:21 PM
Other than not being a team sport, and the fact that it shows the "players," you followed the challenge well! :) Sorry about the sarcasm; it's hard to resist sometimes... otherwise, it is seriously a nice action shot :)
06/03/2004 01:23:09 PM
Excellent photograph but you showed the players...
06/03/2004 01:15:37 PM
I think it was supposed to be team sports without people. But I reallylike this shot anyway. It's one of the more interesting ones in the bunch. I would have normally given a 10 or a 9, but since it's a stretch for this challenge, I'm going to give it an 8. You may find your marks drop a lot more than that for this reason. Howevr, it's a really excellent shot and you should be proud.
06/03/2004 12:14:28 PM
doesn't really meet the challenge.
06/03/2004 11:14:55 AM
Nice action shot good composition great emotion captured just not within theme. I dont know why you would enter this challenge by doing everthing opposite of what the challenge asks unless you are looking for a low score?
06/03/2004 10:37:31 AM
great capture but really violates the challenge of not showing the players
06/03/2004 06:29:30 AM
Nice action shot. Not sure about connection to the theme though - it was pretty specific about "without players". Also hurdles doesn't seem to me to be a team sport.
06/03/2004 05:00:30 AM
"Without players"!!?
06/02/2004 08:47:16 PM
not really a team sport, besides, if it were, you show the 'players'. doesn't fit challenge
06/02/2004 07:38:45 PM
Without players means WITHOUT PLAYERS!
06/02/2004 07:14:41 PM
No offince but this contest that was suppose to be pictures of sports with NO players. I don't mean to be mean but this photo has players in it so a 7.
06/02/2004 05:53:21 PM
without players?
06/02/2004 05:52:27 PM
Team sport? Not really. Players included? Quite. Aside from the complete lack of regard for the competition, this is a VERY good shot.
06/02/2004 03:52:32 PM
Looks to me like the team players are in this one - definitely missed the theme of this challenge. That being said, it's a great image.
06/02/2004 02:32:45 PM
Great shot! I love the expression on the young man in the forground. However, the challenge was "without players" I wish I could rate it higher.
06/02/2004 02:20:23 PM
you are a bit too stopped down, the primary object is blurry and the extreme distance is distractingly sharp. I think a faster narrower DOF would have frozen and enphisised the action.. If you had slid a few feet to the left and gotten that time board and person in the chair out of the frame it would have helped alot.
06/02/2004 01:40:47 PM
"Without Players"?
06/02/2004 01:35:50 PM
I thought this was "Team Sports WITHOUT Players".
06/02/2004 12:08:39 PM
Four legs, two players! Awesome. In a different challenge I would have rated this high because the action, the effort, and the competetive spirit are very well depicted. But the challenge says, "team sports without photographing the players themselves."
06/02/2004 11:41:10 AM
Great shot, but the "players" are in it....
06/02/2004 10:01:53 AM
There are athletes in your photo. Perhaps if you had just taken a nice "perspective" shot of the hurdles themselves, you could have metthe challenge. It's a nice capture otherwise.
06/02/2004 09:12:27 AM
Good capture but I think you are totaly turning down the challenge subject by showing players in non-team sport and though there is a field in the background its not clear that it is for a team sport. But as I said, good capture and nice pic, just needs a litle thighter corping and litle touchup to be a realy good image.
06/02/2004 08:53:57 AM
ummmm.........nevermind.
06/02/2004 06:29:24 AM
This is a really nice picture. For this particular challenge, I just wish you had taken it one second later. ;-) Still, great job!
06/02/2004 05:56:59 AM
You have included the payers - otherwise a good photo!
06/02/2004 02:53:23 AM
Errrr, team sport sure ... but wouldn't those two large objects be .... players?
06/02/2004 02:41:33 AM
Awesome capture, but the challenge says without players...
TC
06/02/2004 01:00:10 AM
Um...this shows the players. It's a good shot though. The person in the blue shirt is a distraction. Definitely does not meet the challenge.
06/02/2004 12:39:10 AM
Very nice capture and motion stop. But these are players, you can't have them in the photo, thats what the challenge says. Good luck...
06/02/2004 12:38:28 AM
Creatively capture the notion of any team sport without photographing the players themselves.
06/02/2004 12:25:14 AM
I'll be the first, maybe second to say this and I"m sure not the last but it's supposed to be WITHOUT players, you are going to probably get a lot of lower scores because of that. Nice capture, good expressions but the overall shot doesn't really do anything for me and the fact you included people also loses points. A 4
