Description
Last night we attended out first women's professional basketball game (WNBA).
Here we see players from the Seattle Storm (in white) contending with the San Antonio Silver Stars (in black).
Added for grins, after several comments above: And a great time was had by all...even those in the background who look a little pertinacious, heavy, forbidding, glum, sullen, dogged, dark, moody, temperamental, threatening, gloomy, drear, benighted, off, blue, glowering, obscure, sour, sinister, turned, grim, saturnine, tenacious, off-key, dour, false, drab, dingy, dreary, dismal, persistent, lowering, rancid, morose.
They were all good-natured and enjoying themselves at the cellular level. Here they are just resting... LOL.

Excellent capture :)

WNBA games are so intense! They do a lot better than the NBA and don't get half the attention they deserve! You've captured this perfectly and the colors, the action, the sense of excitement is just as intense as the gameplay! Yeah, I'm not even a sports fan and I'd love a game like this! Such energy and this captures it perfectly. Yeah, I like this!

I'm still not sure why the ref had Lauren Jackson step out of that jump. Huh. Well, regardless of the play ... this is a great action shot! Nicely done.

Super action shot Bill. The right side seems to be more into the game that the left. Dana

tara's shot was all focussed on a single piece of action (brilliantly), while yours shows the action and all the moves around it. Maybe you've done sports photography before, but you caught the complex action of a toss-up, and the intense readiness of the surrounding players, with faces focussed on that ball. (Reminds me of musicians in an orchestra, who stare at that conductor as if their lives depended on it.) And the whites really dominate here---visually, I don't mean sports-wise. But behind the blazing hues of the game, you have the audience. I read the comments (lol), yeah, they're not lookin' thrilled! (Is their team losing?) But they're captured with vivid hues, and we see them very clearly as people engrossed in a game or in themselves. They have real presence, even though they're in the background. Fine piece of sports photography bill. I didn't know you did this too. I'll work on splashing waves as preparation, and maybe one day I'll be ready for the big leagues...
