		from ericlast/Eric (341) on September 4, 2005 11:26:12 AM CDT (1) Great shot here Jim. I do a lot of soccer shoots myself and I know it is not that easy to cath a great moment (for me at least). But this one is really nice en emotional. Nice portfolio by the way. I hope the nose of one of the guys on the pic survuved the hug ;-). Thanks, Eric Reply  Show ratings

I like the jubilation expressed on their faces, too bad they lost :-) Image is sharp and the "pile-up" forms a nice triangular shape. Nice shot!

		from baba/David (38,582) on May 26, 2005 5:48:08 PM CDT (6) It's a good sports celebration shot. Sometimes we focus too much on the action and too little on the passion of a sport. Celebrations help display that passion. The guy on top epitomizes that passion.

		from cts/Shawn (4,591) on May 26, 2005 4:47:12 PM CDT (5) Tim, Fantastic grab! Good angles with the players with the emotion right at the top of the two lines. Good dof for just the players. I would have liked to see a goal net or the ball or something that cements the game that is being played. Hope life is good! Thanks, Shawn.

		from prm/Philip (4,225) on May 26, 2005 4:45:22 PM CDT (6) Nice shot! I particularly like the hand over the player's face in the middle. For a second, and from the thumbnail, I thought this was an AC Milan picture. Technically, it seems to be just a hair overexposed in the white parts of the jerseys, like on number 11's back. I think I'd have shot it a little underexposed to prevent that. Excellent work on the background! I almost never get a clean background like that on a soccer shot. Finally, the crop on the left edge is just a hair tight, and not symmetrical with the right edge crop. The bevel just catches the boot. I'd suggest a slightly looser crop on the left. Thanks for sharing it!
