Hmmm, this one is tough for me to call. It looks very journalistic - even like you ripped it right out of the sports section.
But, it isn't that interesting or intriguing as a photo. Who is the guy, the coach, a fan, a suspended or injured player? I'm not sure what would make it better for me, something is needed to pump up the intrigue a little bit.
Maybe not so much photojournalistic, I dunno - I know nothing about photojournalism!, but it is a work of art. The vertical banding only adds to the image with its raw blownout-ness and poor definition on the scoreboard.
I don't know if many will like this pic, but I think the vertical lines, grain and B&W really add to the emotional impact of this photo. Great pose - his body language and the distant scoreboard tell the whole story.
a terrific shot ruined by a texture. I'm sure I won't be the only one to comment on it. Took your score from a 6 to a 4 for me. keep shooting these great shots, easy on the photoshop :)
This is a good idea, and I know you were going for the 'newspaper' look, but the sheer amount of empty space in this picture isn't really what you'd find on a frontpage newspaper picture
