Wrestling tournament (10 image warning)

donek

I shot my first wrestling tournament for the paper today. This is the first wrestling match I've ever seen, but I think I got some good action and interesting shots. The paper would prefer I submit 4 to 6 shots, if you can help me cull out a few and let me know why, that would be great.

I tried out my new expodisc and got some good results. Only one of these images had WB balance changes in post. I also shot Aperture priority with the 70-200 at f2.8. I think I could have used a bit faster shutter, but for the most part things worked well.

I like Number 3, Number 5, Number 6, and Number 8 the best.

Oh gosh...I just opened one before this and these look even more painful than the other ones. Does someone actually win? THey both look like they're losing.

Do you mean what camera? I used a Nikon D200 with the Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 VR lens.
