    Marc,
    Been a while since I've seen some of your photos.
    The cheerleader shot is nicely done.
    The next two basketball shots, however, have quite a bit of noise and a good loss of detail.
    On the first hockey shot - it's tough to find the puck but finally saw it. Really not much of interest in the shot though.
    2nd hockey shot - generally speaking a photo of a hockey player's but isn't very interesting. It's about faces, not buts.

    The two baseball shots are nice. On the pitcher, I would prefer a different crop - without the leg cut off at the ankle but that's a matter of taste. The dive back to first is sharp.

    Santa is also sharp - although not doing anything particularly note-worthy in a sports forum.

    The wrestling photo looks flat with washed out colors and again is a shot of backs and not faces.

    The golf shot is nice composition, great background and good exposure. But it's generally frowned upon to take a shot during a player's swing like that.

    Given the title of your post, I'm scratching my head at many of these photos. I have to believe I'm not telling you anything on these you don't already know as someone whose been shooting sports for 20 years. So, am I missing some kind of joke?

    It's ok, Nothin special, just some photos.

    John, on the golf shot, it's only frowned upon to shoot during the swing, if you are within hearing distance of the player. I was probably using a 400mm or longer. Experience trumps puttin a camera in John Daly's face.

    We will try harder next time.

    Hey Marc - yeah, I probably wouldn't be following Daly around with a camera right now :D

    One other question - I've noticed in several of your posts you say "we". Do I interpret that correctly that you're posting phoos you yourself didn't take? If not, what's with the "we"?

    I just thought I'd let you know that the link in your signature is broken. It's missing an "s".
