One of my favorites of the challenge. You've stopped the action quite well -- I almost wish there was a little motion blur to show this is real. Colors, saturation, all great. Frame is nice without being obnoxious. Nicely done.

I can see the players :)

Excellent! I like this shot. The fast shutter speed captures the action very nicely. I definitely get the notion and essence of polo from this shot. The shot is well lit, too. I'm not crazy about the border, and I wish the cropping weren't quite as tight at the top. Still, this is my favorite shot for this challenge.

This is the best polo shot by far. Rich colour saturation. Interesting detail, sharp and in focus - best of all it's compelling. 10

Good color clarity and evoking a feeling of action .Fits theme I am not sure if this horizontal crop and smaller size is making me score it less than it deserves.
7 from me
Good luck

do horses count as players?
 06/02/2004 02:04:47 AM
That's a team sport i'm pretty sure not alot of people thought of.

Good detail and sharpness, and the color is nicely vibrant too. Without the title to support it then the image would certainly bring interest as the viewer tries to work out what exactly they are seeing. After a while it is obvious, but taking in the various bits of the image and filling in the blanks left by the crop is part of the enjoyment. Nicely captured.
