A "team sport" is a contest between a group of players on one team simultaneously competing with a group of players on the other team. Your challenge: capture the action of a team sport! (For clarity, your photo does not need to contain the entire team or even multiple people, the sport you are photographing just needs to be a team sport!)

Looks like you have dust on your sensor or lens (speck below the wing of the top-right bird)

Team Pelican?? Even the title can not shoe horn this into Team Sports Action. But it's a nice capture - great colors and a nice flock of browns.

ok, i'm pretty open-minded (at least i like to think so), but this is really stretching it for me. and, i may be wrong, but it appears your sensor needs cleaning (check top right under wing). except for shoe-horning this into the challenge, this is a great image.

Oh, gimmie a break. TEAM SPORTS. They have scores, umpires or refs, goals, etc. They're not animals out for a cruise in the sky. Geez ... Nice image otherwise.

Great photo of Pelicans in flying formation. Don't know if it fits the challenge guidelines, but thank you for entering it.

not a sport..
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Well, they are flying, so I'll give you the action part of the challenge but this isn't a sport even if they are a team.

Beautiful picture!
You totaly got the team part, but where's the sport action?
Gave you a 6 just cause the pic is really neat

I feel like you are kind of stretching with a team sport here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/16/2004 09:03:30 AM
Kind of a neat shot, but definitely a rather large stretch for the challenge.

"capture the action of a team sport"--doesn't meet the challenge
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/15/2004 01:39:09 PM
Even your title doesn't help me see the connection to team sports.

nice picture, but what's the sport?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I'm not sure if flying is technically a team sport, but nice use of negative space..

Can't see the connection to sports.
