Houston Chronicle Football Photo - 10-09-2011, 10:29 PM

Critique: NC:

Here is a shot from the Sam Houston-SFA game. The Chronicle ran a photo by Jason Hanson very similar to mine. Or maybe mine is very similar to his.:)

I love the cheerleaders reaction on the play.

Thanks guys. Speaking of cheerleaders, this where the attempted tackler ended. It appears the cheerleaders didn't like the hit on the star running back.




P.S.: It really isn't what it seems to be.

Great shot David! I was sitting in the end zone, rooting for SFA, but stood up to cheer that touch down. Quite the acrobatic move!! :-)

That is a fantastic image, and Bob is right: contact SI about a possible double-truck "Leading Off." Great job!

Thanks Patrick, Don and Eric. I did as Bob suggested and received a reply from Jim stating he was out of town but had forwarded the photo to the office. Thanks very much Bob.

Whether they use it or not, the comments from you guys mean a lot.
