Under the lights? Nice exposures and color on these, very crisp. Interesting set in that they are all frozen in very unusual positions and contortions. Some you can't imagine the motion that got the body into that instant like 1 and 3. Shots that you just know the next instant is a painful crash.

Thank you for your input Photogbiker I tried for a tackling theme with #3 going down early:D. Kind regards Graham.

I think I asked you about that outrageous watermark before, it's a shame you have to do that. I wish you could use an attractive watermark that compliments your photos and doesn't render them unenjoyable, and serves as free advertising for you when they inevitably get stolen.

Hi Jack,

I'm sorry for the watermark fella but it's not my decision!, The Governing body of Professional Rugby dictates that a "broad prominant watermark must cover the image if used on any forums" that's why I chose a plain font so as to try not to destract from what's left to be seen. It's either this or not be allowed to show my images.
I cover Professional Soccer too including internationals but am not allowed under any circumstances to show my images anywhere such is the strict Football's media code here in the UK unless as a tearsheet from the papers! which @ 72 dpi would be a crap alternative anyway. Kind regards Graham.

I know we've had this discussion before. And as much as we may not like them, they are what they are and for what ever reason.

Let's please just move on.
