Not really an action shot per-say but a pre-action shot. The cougar had his eye on another cat in the cage... right after this shot he jumped off the rock, I wasn't fast enough with the camera to capture the jump.

This is a nice shot for the Zoo Challenge. I don't see any relevance to Sport except the title. Pretty far reach. Exposure could be a little brighter. The focus is lost on the cats ear or just right of it. Composition is great I really like how you cropped or set this shot up.
1 - DMC - No discernible creativity or effort here for the challenge. Nothing 'sporty' about this at all. Nice shot of the cat, but that is not what you were challenged to do.
Tight fit into the catagory I think, but what an excellent shot. I think I would have wanted to fit it in as well. Dont be discouraged if this scores poorly. I recently ran across a contest for big cat photos. You should google it and enter this one. Good luck. 8
If you stalked this in the wild to get this shot, I owe you a better score. If not, I don't see how this "captures the action of your favorite sport". 5
beautiful image, absolutely shoe-horned in. i imagine, though, this will be the highest scoring image of the 'doesn't meet the challenge' group. if you're interested, you might want to check out this thread...
Exposure could have been better but the subject and composition is great. I hope you had a spare change of shorts if rhis is an open shot and not a zoo or something.
