This is taken outside, but the sky is very cloudy and grey. The "shadows" are motion. Flash is set to rear sync.

In a perfect world, I would not have had to move the glove at all, but, my daughter's aim is close, but not quite perfect.

Good idea, but not blunt enough for about 26 voters. It does meet the challenge, but not in the traditional, "finger-drumming wait" sort of way. You did a good job of keeping the flash from blowing out the highlights and the color is rich. Although it's probably a result of motion and the rear sync flash noted in your comments, the fact that there's a blur on both sides of the ball and glove suggests camera shake. I probably would have given this about a 6 (mostly from the overall blur), but I do think this should have scored higher than it did.

Very interesting shot. Did you use a flash with a slow shutter speed? It's weird how the ball and glove leave a dark trail; must be because when not illumated by the flash, the sky is much brighter than they are. I don't get a sense of waiting, though, there is just so much action that I can't pull my mind away from the movement.

Team sports without players was the last challenge. Just changing the title doesn't make it "Waiting". This photo is "wanting".

The image doesn't clearly convey "waiting." The overall execution is good, especially the shadow streak behind the ball.
