We're Number One

Boulder, CO

Well, not quite, but it felt like it for a while. When Colorado shocked Texas 91-89 in Boulder, the students rushed the floor at the final whistle. It was complete joyous pandemonium.
I've put a version with more extreme processing in pending. I can't decide whether I like it. If I don't come up with a third entry for eligible, I must just move it here anyway.

Canon EOS 7D ,Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM
1/800s f/2.8 at 200.0mm iso3200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Alastair, this is a wonderful sport/action shot everybody of us would be happy (and proud) to have in his/her archive. The emotional expressions are priceless. The picture could be my very strong favorite in sport/action/emotions etc challenge. I only think if f.e. somebody would have a cup in raised hands with other raised hands with cameras or victory sign or just raised - and these hands would lead to the central object (the cup in this example) then it would be better on topic. But this is a very subjective opinion.

As a Kansas fan I was glad to see the Buffs knock off the Horns. I like the person in the big puffy hat. Paul

Personally, I prefer this more natural look...and congratulations to the school and you for a fine shot. I'd submit this to the College, or local, newspaper. Traveller
