Interesting sign, but I think you need some sort of context or visual point to really make this creative--like a guy standing next to it wearing a hat, gloves, and a winter coat, for example.

Great toning..very evocative photo, and a good fit for the challenge.

Upon review of all the other entries, I've revisited this one, and I am giving it a 10. I think this is the best photo in this challenge, becuase you have succesfully captured the FEELING of the sport. Worn, beat up and scarred gloves. The black and white/toned photo and overall dark tones and subdued lighting gives a feeling of tiredness. Very well done!

You might get some opinions that boxing isn't a team sport. Well, I kind of agree, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and including the various trainers, doctors, coaches, etc. that are all behind the fighter.

Wow, great relfexes on that shutter button finger! This successfully captures the FEELING of the sport, which is difficult to do. 9

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".

Yes, this IS creative! Hopefully people really LOOK at this photo, because it is very well done. You've got the pushpins in at various levels, and have a perfect tilt on both the Kicker and the Keeper. Very well done!

Neat photo--great color and composition, but this doesn't say "Team Sports" to me.
