Michael Ventura 3,934 Posted April 30 This is wide open to any sport, be it pro, amateur or even family/friends fun. As long as it is a recognizable sport...not just just playing around. I want to see the fun, the thrill, the challenge of sports. I am not a sport photographer but I have some below to get the thoughts going and you don't need to be a sports specialist to enter. Please submit up to three and they must be yours and on Alamy! Submissions will close May 31st at midnight GMT. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep you popped up while I was trying a new browser. I forgot, Safari doesn't work anymore for drag & drop, only Chrome. But when I tried dragging in a second photo (I tried 4 times!!!), my post disappeared and it got plugged into the internet ether. But at least I can post. Thanks for answering!

Marianne 494 Posted April 30 (edited) This is also sailing - but please let me know if it's permissible Michael. It is the US tall ship Eagle, the US Coast Guard training ship for cadets. Here they are furling the sails before to docking In New London, Connecticut after a regatta. If this isn't "sport," since they are cadets, although they were part of a regatta made up of both Naval ships from around the world and "regular" folks on their yachts and other boats when this was taken, let me know, and I'll chose something else. Thanks! Edited April 30 by Marianne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
