Very creative slant on the challenge. However, I just couldn't make myself give the same scores to the still shots and the action shots. I felt the action shots demonstrated a higher skill level and therefore deserved a higher score.
Nice photo... Good choice of b&w. I personally would have liked the title "Angle" better... being as I understand the sign. However, most probably wouldnt have understood that.
Non verbal communication is exactly what the photographer doctor ordered. By comparing the eye and movement abilities of both athlete and photo buff, seeing is believing in the play your teamate proposes. Very much like our challenges in this photo website. Great angle. I appreciate your skill. Winner photo.
