I dont get it. I walk around for hours "looking" for a shot that will do justice to the challenge. Can someone tell me how boxing is a team sport? Please dont take this as sour grapes, I am just looking for a little guidance for future challenges. All in all however congrats on your ribbon

This is a wonderful picture! -- so what Boxing isn't a "team" sport, the merits of the photo stand on their own -- even if you took a point for barely meeting the challenge this would still be an 11

I think you're getting a little too caught up in whole thing, boogie. Relax. We're not here to bastardize eachother's art based on a few nonsensical preliminary judgements. So what it doesn't meet the challenge; the picture is flawless, and is deserving of its ribbon place.
don't get me wrong but i'm completley dissapointed with this ribborn...helloooo...boxing doesn't have anything...but absolutely anything to do with a 'team spot'...guys...take a dictionary and check the meaning for 'team sport'...and please understand that is not only the photographer fault...he/she just take a photo and submit it to the challange...what is very concerning is that we...the voters give high scores for a picture that doesn't meet the challange at all...i repeat...that's bad...we don't know what a team spot is...
nice low key shot (I have a soft spot for low key images). I probably would have lit it a bit more from the side to get a little more of the detail in the left hand glove.
In my view, the only 10 in the submissions for this challengs. This is beautifully evocative. The worn gloves seem symbolic of the way boxing wears out the boxer. The old gloves seem nostalgicly out of step with the slick, monied sport boxing has become. The black and white works very well and seems to symbolize the black and white of olymics competition. Well titled. The the levels are perfect. The composition is perfect. The focus is nearly perfect. If you don't ribbon, no one deserves to! Good luck.
Great toning..very evocative photo, and a good fit for the challenge.
Upon review of all the other entries, I've revisited this one, and I am giving it a 10. I think this is the best photo in this challenge, becuase you have succesfully captured the FEELING of the sport. Worn, beat up and scarred gloves. The black and white/toned photo and overall dark tones and subdued lighting gives a feeling of tiredness. Very well done!
You might get some opinions that boxing isn't a team sport. Well, I kind of agree, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and including the various trainers, doctors, coaches, etc. that are all behind the fighter.
Great shot but boxing isn't a team sport for we, the literal minded. Still lush B&W conversion and emotionally evocative shot, well lit and framed. In boxing parlance , just off target, but a powerfull blow, might well ribbon.
I guess I never really thought of boxing as a team sport, but this is a great shot. The texture and fine detail really stand out against the muted contrast in the background.
This is a perfect shot. I love it in every way but I think of a team as more than one player on a side. I think the challenge theme is just a bit weak, but the picture more than makes up for it. 9
