    I think you have a wonderful artistic style and I like your images, but they are not going to run on many sports pages. What is you intend with you sports photos?
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    The image is too dark for me and although it may have artistic stylings to it, I have to agree in that I don't think it would work for photojournalism use.
    You can tell what is happening as you have a slight glimpse of the basketball on the right and with the two men facing each other one knows that they're playing basketball but there's really no action, you can't make out faces and the background is a bit cluttered with the telephone wires and pole behind them.
    Just curious. Was this shot intended to be of an artistic nature with the dark images of the players or was it meant to be a photojournalism shot? If it's a PJ shot I think the problem is you are shooting into the sun and with the bright sky behind them your camera's meter is going to give you dark subjects.
