8th grade BB game which my daughter cheered at. This has a double meaning. 1 its too early to tell if it went in, 2 its still way to early to see if I can do any sport with this camera.

Good idea. Bad Shot. at first i didn't even notice the ball, took a while to figure out what was goin on. Its pretty noisey. You should've cleaned it up a bit and cropped it around the ball, it would've been AWESOME if you could have cropped a long portrait of the ball and a few people below it.
Gym shots are very tough because the lighting is usually so poor and the action is so fast. The result is usually a blurry image. In this case it is out of focus as well. Good composition and reasonably good shot considering the conditions.
although it was a nice idea it was not excicuted well. it is out of focus, the lighing is poor ( i know school gyms arent lit well for photographs but it could have been corrected a bit on the computer after) To me this looks more like a picture taken by one of these kids parents rather than a shot composed for artistic purposes.
The picture is dead on for the title of the challenge. Technically the main flaw for me is the dark exposure and the noise. Otherwise composition is is fine. An 8 ! Yours, Jan
Oh dear it's very grainy. I like the concept. I gave it a 4 for having the concept link to the theme. Perhaps if you could do a clearer shot without including the entire line up. I personally think by having so many people in this particular shot, it distracts the attention from the main focal point.
