I initially had the picture cropped and then read the rules regarding "Minimal Editing" and decided to enter the non cropped version anyway. As a side note, the cropped version was awesome and I was very proud of the image. Jays games are always a fun filled time. Thanks for the constructive criticism.

Cheers.

needs to be cropped a LOT LOT tighter. in pj, you really want to fill the frame, removing all but necessary story telling elements.
