In 01 Score 7 Good shot of these 2 climbers, However I would prefer a tighter crop.
By far the best subject for the theme. Little to fault in this image, except that it might look better without that small amount of distant cliff on top left. Well observed and well done!

In 02 Score 6 Good shot of canoeist, great reflection in the water, perhaps if captured with oar in water would be better
Good subject again. Nicely composed but somewhat lacking in punch. Rather static despite some obvious water movement.

in 03 Score 9 Really depicts the theme, great use of natural light, love the expression on the players faces., well focused and nicely composed, good use of aperture to blur background as well
Well timed, with great facial expressions on two of the participants. The others in the scene are somewhat of a distraction. Good differential focussing.

in 04 Score 4 Depicts the theme all right but there something missing. We know its soccer but where’s the ball. I feel the ball is essential for this shot, otherwise its like a ballet dance.
Am not sure what the photographer was trying to capture . . . the very happy guy in blue who looks as if he scored a wide . . . or five people looking elsewhere. Nice lighting though, flood lights presumably.

in 05 Score 7 Fits the theme, action well caught and frozen, great colours . would love to have seen this taken at river level.
A good subject for the theme. Might have been difficult enough to 'time', but the moving cyclist is quite sharp. However, a wider aperture, lessening the depth of field, would have worked better.
