John Larson This looks like normal game action to me, which I would think would not make it very far as Human Interest. Needs a center of interest.
Phyllis Picardi Nice stop-action shooting. If it were not for your description I would have thought this was possibly a part of the actual basketball game, which would disqualify it from “human interest”. Since the judge’s would not have access to that information, I would probably hold this image for entry in PJ Open, or general, which includes sports. Stopping the lens aperture down another stop might have given slightly more defined sharpness, but would have necessitated going to a higher ISO.
Nancy Sams This image will do well in PJ and in Human Interest if the judges realize that the game has stopped. Well, anyone should know that with so many players on the court.
Carol Rogus  
Alex Lane Lots of action BUT- there is no center of interest. Just a mass of bodies that seem to be ‘mixing it up’! Somehow the title ‘Water Break’ is misleading-seems like more than water may be broken!! (7)

Ed Butler - Biography
 

I have always had an interest in photography but have only become active in image making within the past year. I have a law practice in St. Louis where I live with my wife Beth and five children. I have several photography interests, however the centerpiece of image making for me is story telling.
