Not too sure about this image... Its of the back of a head and a ball... Unless you wanted a picture of a sharp, clear wet ball its useless........ If you were too the side or behind the goal to capture the person making the play it may work but not from this angle..

With any sports shot you really,really need faces, expressions and dynamics to make the image draw you into the action. Its nearly impossible to get a shot with backs, from behind or without faces and make it work unless it has something really spectacular going on in the background...

Cherieg:

Sorry, but I have to agree with JoeL. However--took a peek at your blog and saw several other pictures I thought were pretty good. I have no idea about shooting waterpolo--but would like to see some more of what you've done...
