I'm always impressed by an image containing a subject that I otherwise wouldn't care for and in this case that's sports images generally. I have to say though, this one is excellent.

Nicely composed action shot. I like the strong reds, whites and blacks.

I really like your selective colouring and tight crop... one of the better sports photos in this challenge.

Nice composition. Glad you didn't include the whole player. I also like the editing.

This is a great closeup and terrific action shot! Generally I don't care for partial desats but this one looks good to me. Bumping this up!
Post actions
Great sports shot. Not sure if this is staged or captured but either way it is one of the best sports shots I've seen in awhile.
Post actions
I'm not a fan of selective desaturation and I am wondering why you chose to use it here. But I do like the composition with the head cut off, it makes us focus on the stength of the arm carrying the ball.
Post actions
I think the selective saturation works here. It has a graphic commercial feel to it like a poster. I might've desaturated all of the green in the number and hint of it on the sleeve of the shirt.

Exceptional sports detail

great use of BW and color. 9

Great action sport shot, I like the desaturation
Post actions
great moment and interesting detail, although I dont like those selective colors .. . (would probably go for BW)

Fantastic crop/capture. I personally don't like the over saturated football or the color of the number on the jersey.
Post actions
I am a big football fan and I like this shot. however the red seems a little oversaturated. A subtle red would have been in order here also the green in the numbers is not appealing.IMO
Post actions
Selective desat really works in this.
Post actions
great use of part desat - well done
Post actions
Nice tight crop action shot. Football seems to be a bit red vs. brown, but the red in the pants and shirt are very nice.
Post actions
Definitely sports ad material. Cool processing.

Abstract and excellent. Like the selective desat choice as well.

cool shot , love the treatment and well chosen title. I would have lightened the shadows just a tad bit. 8
Post actions
I can't tell if this is a close up of play in action, or a set shot. Driving me nuts.

A very well done composition. You have made an common athletic capture unique and interesting.

I don't like the selective desat on this at all. However, I think the image itself, beyond that, is excellent. the focus, dof, and composition are outstanding. 8 bumped to 9
Post actions
saturation comes across as a bit over the top, but still a fine image, crop is great
Post actions
I love the selective desaturation, work perfectly to help this image pop
Post actions
Wow. This shot is spectacular. I love the selective desat. This is hands down one of my favorites so far in this challenge. Excellent job. 10

this is very well done, great choice in the selective desat, i might have let the numbers on the jersey desat as well, they seem a tad green.
Post actions
The desat works well here

Not a huge football fan, but this really is an awesome capture. Very unique.

Good capture. I like what you did with the color.
Post actions
Typically, I don't like selective desat, but in this shot, it seems fairly effective. it is a very good capture, and really gives the essence of the game. The noise in the number on the jersey is a bit off-putting as it has a greenish cast to it.
Post actions
Great job with the selective desat, wonderful DOF, this is a portrait without faces that speaks many words.

Nike ad? Hehe. Good composition and selective desat. It really does remind me of an ad (crop and comp = Nike; selective desat and colors = Gatorade)
