You seriously deserved a *MUCH* higher placing. I had you pegged for a ribbon. This is a wonderful shot and I'm including it as a favorite. I *LOVE* the spin on the ball!

I think it's great and I disagree what others say about thinking it should have been completely stopped. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it would have scored higher if there was actually players in the photo (not that there really could be in this particular photo)

A nice stop action here would have scored real high from me.

I would have used the xoom a litte bit more, coming closer to the ball.

Would be better if it completely froze the picture; but nice.

I like thinking outside the square and this evokes all the emotions of the goal both for and against the team
