You have isolated the players from the background, gives a nice 3D effect. A lot of action and emotion going on which you have captured. Love the hair flying on 2 of the players. Your image shows the intensity and action of this sport. Posted: 07/03/2026 01:50:00

Your image timing appears perfect, as the defense is engaged in trying to tackle the ball carrier. A strong P.J. image to be sure. Posted: 07/07/2026 18:59:08
You have captured a great moment. The intensity of the expressions on the faces is incredible. Everything is sharp and in focus. The background is soft and doesn't distract. Posted: 07/08/2026 14:58:22
Isaac, another good action shot. With a soft background the player with the ball certainly viewers eye. Good camera set up to freeze the action and capture it in realistic colors and brightness. I'm looking forward to judging with you in the Detroit exhibition. Posted: 07/11/2026 13:31:39
