Shot on the fly at a local middle school basketball game. There's another shot that I like better, but had distracting elements that I couldn't remove for this challenge.

I like the way this image is framed and the crisp focus on your subject: the basketball is stunning and the flag on the sleeve is a nice touch. The posture of your subject is perfect; as the wife of a basketball coach, I can't tell you how many times I have seen this stance. Really nice shot which fits the challenge well with a twist. Great job.
Hmmm, he's not really doing anything, is he? I'd like it more if he were showing authority beyond the uniform. Technically it's a very good shot though.
yes, this is an authority figure. too bad you couldn't catch him exerting his authority : ( also, it can really make a difference scoring if you true up your horizons, rotating your images to remove the tilt. good job with the focus and general composition.
