Nice clearity, action, good since of the game. But I think it would have been more apealing to get a 'Cruch' shot or even a 'Snot Bubble' shot. Those are the ones people remember. But very nice.

Looks like an attempted hand-off, but that's probably because we can't see the receiver in back. Nice action, super saturated light.

Water Boy!!! ... Still laughing about that one. These are great action shots. Almost looks like everyone is just standing there.

just missed the moment! a fraction of a second later when the running back was about to contact the ball would have had more impact.
clear shot though!

An ok action shot, but I thought I'd add some suggestions since sports photography is one of my favority things (I shoot Steelers games for a local newspaper). My first suggestion is to focus on the action. There's a bit too much clutter here in the form of players that aren't intregal to the scene. I'd probably make this a vertical shot of just the quarterback, and get rid of the guys on the right and left.

I think this would have been a bit stronger if we were able to see the running back, or whomever the ball is being handed to. As it is, it seems like it lacks a bit of punch since this isn't really a decisive moment of the game, and we can't clearly see any really good facial expressions.

Composition: 6 - Nicely framed with lots of stuff going on all around the central point of the ball
Technical: 7 - Well exposed, emotion captured, just the cropping of half the leftmost person is a small distraction. DoF works well, but shallower to hide the fence would improve it imo.
Creativity: 4 - There isnt anything here that to me separates it from other football shots.
Appeal: 5 - The nice rich colours and lots of things happening means this holds my attention for a while.

Overall Calculated Average Score: 5

Good idea. I imagine you coudn't help this angle on this play. I can't see the RB though. If I didn't know football, I might mistake the quarterback for being confused. Good shot though.
