Interesting take on the challenge. The photo could use a little more sharpness (use a tripod?) and I would have less of the persons head in the shot.

Good idea - too bad it didn't turn out very well.
Better luck next time.

This is just the back of someones head. The colors are off and everything is out of focus. What would have improved this image is if the remote control had been in focus, also had the blank area of the picture been smaller it might have worked out. But sorry I don't like it.

1 - DMC - No discernible creativity or effort here for the challenge. Nothing 'sporty' about this at all.

Needs a little different angle. Too much head in the photo, and sort of grainy.

Maybe if you were watching some sports on the television, I could make the connection to challenge. Also the colors look unrealistic, the focus is soft, and the image seems distorted. Too out of the box for this linear thinking, in the box, type person 3

Gee, if that were a sport, my hubby would have an Olympic Gold!

Lacks focus, brightness on tv to much, Red a touch to much and the persons head taking half the photo a very distracting.

Clever idea not realized by photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/14/2005 04:02:28 AM
Sorry. I don't see a sport here, and the image has a distracting red cast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Generally, the majority of a picture should not be taken up by an indeterminate mass (I know it's hair, but it's out of focus and crowding out everything of importance).
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/13/2005 05:19:03 PM
why?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/13/2005 04:54:00 PM
difficult to see the subject - strange focus contrast and saturation ... may be a point to it - but difficult to comprehend
  Photographer found comment helpful.
