59	Aug 21	Reply	Thanks Bob, I have not entered this image in any competition and after comments here most likely will not. People tend to post things that they like themselves and sometimes miss weaknesses in the image because of that. I did not learn about football until my university days when I was required to take a football class and it did not take long for me to appreciate what a beautiful game it is. If you did not grow up with it or play it you might think of it being boring. Once you try the skills you learn how difficult it is to play. More than a billion watch the world cup and love the game and it has become one of the most popular sports in the USA for youth. If you did not grow up with baseball you might think of it being the most boring game in the world. I agree with you about the flop, I guess it has become part of the game especially in certain countries. Bruce	Aug 23rd
59	Aug 21	Reply	Hey Isaac, nice to see you on the Sports forum. That was a typo and was actually 1/1250 not 1/250	Aug 9th
59	Aug 21	Reply	Thanks Hans and Ron for your comments. I am normally really aware of not getting face in my images, I think I overlooked this because there were so many other faces showing involvement in the action, plus the action of Karli showing perfect technique.	Aug 9th
59	Aug 21	Comment	Hans, Wow your image really grabs your interest. I also like the vertical crop since the zebra players do not seem to be in the action. Nice job, and glad you were able to get out and shoot again. Bruce	Aug 9th
59	Aug 21	Comment	Gerry, Your image shows good action and I like the second figure in the background. To me the splashing water adds to the scene, but also obstructs the face of the subject so is also distracting. I have the same problem with many of my Grizzly bear photos catching fish in the river them shaking the water from their fur. I had a bear image win a highly honored award from Natures Best Magazine from 35,000 entries and entered it in my local club competition and only go 2 votes out of 50. I would enter your image again . Bruce	Aug 9th
59	Aug 21	Comment	Hey Ron, I like the muscle definition shown in both the arms and thighs. I have to agree with Hans and would like to see more action in the image. It seems more like a portrait or bird on a stick nature image.	Aug 9th

72	Aug 21	Comment	Walt, I am with Adrian, It does make you look to see what it is but without having been there or having a description it did not hold my interest. Bruce	Aug 13th
72	Aug 21	Comment	Mary, Your image is interesting with many colors, and subjects. The dive buddy in the background really makes you look at the image. Bruce	Aug 13th
72	Aug 21	Reply	Thanks Randy, yes Hector was there. He suggested 1/3500 but have had good success staying over 1/1000 over the years. It seems like whoever offers the best deal determines what equipment experts promote. Example being Art Morris who got booted from Canon and immediately said it sucks and then Nikon was the best, now Sony is tops. They are all good for those who are skilled. By they way, Nice article about the grizzly bears in Teton NP. I keep that article handy and have read it several times. I grew up in Idaho Falls so am very familiar with Yellowstone and Tetons. Bruce	Aug 10th
72	Aug 21	Reply	Thanks Walt, Appreciate you comments. Bruce	Aug 10th
72	Aug 21	Comment	Thanks Adrian Bruce	Aug 10th
72	Aug 21	Reply	Thanks Marie I appreciate your kind words. Bruce	Aug 10th
72	Aug 21	Reply	Thanks Isaac, yes this was taken from a photo blind where you get sick of cardinals providing so many opportunities for good shots of them. The blind is dug into the ground so cameras are at ground level like a baseball dugout. There is a small pond just in front attracting the birds to drink in the hot Texas sun.	Aug 10th
72	Aug 21	Comment	Isaac, You caught a nice scene with the monkey looking right at you. The action, pose and composition make this a really nice image. Well done. Bruce	Aug 9th
72	Aug 21	Comment	Adrian, you captured a really great moment with this interaction. The background is nicely blurred and snow adds to the story. Well done. Bruce	Aug 9th
72	Aug 21	Comment	Marie, A Beautiful image with nice creamy water fall and s curve leading your eye through the scene. Your PP is spot on. Really nice image. Bruce	Aug 9th
72	Aug 21	Comment	Randy, Great image for such a large crop. The catch light and the fact this it is looking right at you really add to the interest. Nice job. Bruce	Aug 9th
