Emotions

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

The Namoi region soccer league (far north west nsw) preliminary finals, Reserve and 1st grade, were held yesterday in hot conditions. The winners earned a spot in next weeks Grand Finals and the loser becomes a spectator. As expected, both matches were quite intense.
In the reserve grade PF, the red team are leading 2-1 and with 5 mins. remaining in the match they score another goal to make it 3-1, shutting the door on the opposition hopes.

As the saying goes, 'winners are grinners and the rest can please themselves.'

A good capture of the emotions that can be involved in sports. I think the contrast of winners and the loser really makes it. While I was waiting for it to load on my slow intenet, I could only see the winners and it wasn't anywhere near as effective.

Agree with Lee on this, this shot works because of number 14 being in the shot - GOLD for you!

Yep, it's nothing shot without the opposite emotions to tell the story.

This was two weeks prior in the minor semi after the red/white/blue team had just taken a two goal lead to knock out the opposition. By chance, the team knocked out were the 1st. grade team from the same club as the other shot. It's a heavy crop to rid background clutter, and ideally not enough of the celebrating faces but made the back page ahead of much technically better action shots. Pays to stay alert when a goal's scored or miss the best candids.
