I'm always impressed by an image containing a subject that I otherwise wouldn't care for and in this case that's sports images generally. I have to say though, this one is excellent. |

Nicely composed action shot. I like the strong reds, whites and blacks. |

I really like your selective colouring and tight crop... one of the better sports photos in this challenge. |

Nice composition. Glad you didn't include the whole player. I also like the editing. |

This is a great closeup and terrific action shot! Generally I don't care for partial desats but this one looks good to me. Bumping this up! |

Great sports shot. Not sure if this is staged or captured but either way it is one of the best sports shots I've seen in awhile. |

I'm not a fan of selective desaturation and I am wondering why you chose to use it here. But I do like the composition with the head cut off, it makes us focus on the stength of the arm carrying the ball. |

I think the selective saturation works here. It has a graphic commercial feel to it like a poster. I might've desaturated all of the green in the number and hint of it on the sleeve of the shirt. |

Fantastic crop/capture. I personally don't like the over saturated football or the color of the number on the jersey. |

I am a big football fan and I like this shot. however the red seems a little oversaturated. A subtle red would have been in order here also the green in the numbers is not appealing.IMO |

Nice tight crop action shot. Football seems to be a bit red vs. brown, but the red in the pants and shirt are very nice. |

Fantastic action shot! It conveys everything in your title, so I'd say it's perfect! |

I can't tell if this is a close up of play in action, or a set shot. Driving me nuts. |

I don't like the selective desat on this at all. However, I think the image itself, beyond that, is excellent. the focus, dof, and composition are outstanding. 8 bumped to 9 |

saturation comes across as a bit over the top, but still a fine image, crop is great |

this is very well done, great choice in the selective desat, i might have let the numbers on the jersey desat as well, they seem a tad green. |

Typically, I don't like selective desat, but in this shot, it seems fairly effective. it is a very good capture, and really gives the essence of the game. The noise in the number on the jersey is a bit off-putting as it has a greenish cast to it. |

Nike ad? Hehe. Good composition and selective desat. It really does remind me of an ad (crop and comp = Nike; selective desat and colors = Gatorade) |
