My reasons why I liked these photos...

 

1. Great capture of beautiful art

2. Bright, fun happy Sharp photo 

3. Great action photo showing players making a total commitment to get the ball

4. Great front to back balance. Love how the leading person front right leads you in

5. Lovely lines ....

6. Great subject and camera angle

7. Massive fill the frame shot. Perfect moment

8. Either machine gun approach to catch this moment ( if it was, the right frame was chosen) or you stood there for a long time Doc and took loads of shots 😂

Thanks for including one of mine Ace but the description doesn't match the photo chosen. Oops!

Hope it's simple to change.

I can see what's happened, the description for each image is underneath but the one on top has been used, if that makes sense?

Pops. I'll change it later 

[NYCat]

The order of the photos shown is opposite to the list to vote. A bit confusing at first.

Thanks for including my ball ACE, and in answer to your question, I'm not sure I can remember!

It was taken with the Canon 5D2 and 24-105, and I don't think the 5D2 had the shots/second  speed to do the "Machine gun approach" , so most likely down to sheer luck!

Yes, Keith. I too see me with 9 votes and Doc with 8.  What's going on here?

The July 2023 election vote was stolen Edo

[Allan Bell]

Edo has 9 votes to Doc's 8.

 

I therefore declare Edo the true winner.

 

Sorry Kumar.

Maybe ACE will come in to verify.

I have emailed ACE.
