 I wonder if anyone will know it is me taking this one. I hope I don't cause controversy with this one being that people have been talking about showing similar shots in the forum threads...

I didn't know that this would be the challenge when I posted about my sports photography help thread.

P.s. - I am not expecting much out of this one... Probably mid 5 if that.

Nice action shot. Would be better with a shallow dof.

Whenever I play at sports photography I usually make a few tries at catching the ball at the point of impact -- rarely successfully. Great work showing the compression/distortion of the ball, and excellent clarity and focus under what were probably problematic lighting conditions.

The warped ball makes the shot; good clarity for an indoor gym shot.

Truly captured at the point of impact. The flex of the ball is amazing. Great capture.

Nice stop action. It's amazing to see that ball flatten on the side of impact.
