This weeks contest is Sports. Feel free to interpret this as you see fit.


As always, standard rules apply:
The photographs must be your own work.
  • You may only submit one photo per contest.
  • No commenting or liking photos until after the judging has taken place.
  • This contest runs for about a week, starting now
  • At the end of the competition, the judge (last week's winner) will choose a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place photo, providing as much feedback as possible.
  • The 1st place winner will start a new thread here with the topic/theme of their choice, and act as the judge for that contest. (Winner has 48 hours to create new theme, after that it defers to 2nd place).
  • Be sure to update the Contest Master List as soon as you post a new theme.
  • Contest ends February 25, noonish PST

C0ncreteBl0nde: Love the photo which seems to be taken at the perfect moment....the only slight criticism I could give is that the post processing gives a little odd feel to the image but that doesn't take away from the perfect timing.

rx7dude: This photo perfectly shows the speed and intensity of the sport...

Chuckeee: Great shot where my only critique would be that she feels slightly out of focus.

_timo_redux_: Awesome photo and very vibrant.

akash.nu: Nice and crisp image the only criticism here would be that it feels like the couple on the sidewalk draw a lot of attention due to their central position.

Strider64: Great action shot.

oblomow: I really love the feel of the atmosphere in this photo... looking at it you just want to be there I would say a perfect photo if only the two central figures were in a more "action" position.

As always it is hard to choose winners because all are good but since I have to choose.

1st: C0ncreteBl0nde
2nd: _timo_redux_
3rd: oblomow

Oh wow...I didn't expect this. I'm not sure that I'm qualified to judge other people's photos. I need to come up with a topic? I've never done this before so please give me a bit to read/figure this out. Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Congratulations! Great shot.

And you are definitely qualified to judge. ( and remember, everybody that participates in the weekly challenge wants to be judged)
