    Re: Who's Going To Get to it First?

    Yes, I do like it. Sport shots aren't usually my cup of tea, but this is pretty awesome. Their gestures are so epic, the figures are like dynamic statues, and the background is so simple so they stand out even more.

    I would say that I think I would like the ball to be completely in, but it doesn't make much of a difference.

    Awesome shot.

    Thanks F-15. I wish the Ball could have been more in the shot as well, but it wasn't a well framed shot when I took it so the bal went slightly out of the shot.

    I would say that ball could be lowered in photoshop with a bit of cloning and healing tool use. I'd be glad to give it a shot if you would like

    Other than that, excellent shot! I really like it.
