I was looking through some old photos and came across this one that I had taken at a Harlem Globe Trotters game I was at.
I'm gonna stick it up here for critique although there is some slight blurring in it, but I think it addds a little to it.
Sorry the size is small.

I like the composition but wish the fans looked excited.

Ha, I was just thinking how that would make a great picture.
Especially if one person was going crazy and throwing popcorn and the rest looked bored.

The background is a little distracting. Maybe if it was blurred it would put more focus on the player and not so much on the "not so enthused" fans. I attached a "quick" edit where I tried to blur the background some. It doesn't look great but it could probably look better if more time was taken. It just gives an idea as to what I was thinking.

Very nice shot! I like your edit Kris. When I was a kid my Dad loved watching these guys. Back when the team was composed of players such as Meadowlark Lemon. He was my favorite. He knew how to play an audience.

Yeah, I thought so too but I just did a "quick" blur to get what I was thinking across. My opacity was set to 100% so it "really" blurred it. LOL! It would look better with a lower opacity I think. 8)

Yeah, I'll have to try that when I get the time.
Thanks for the comments.
