Default Dunk at UNCG Game

I took this as we watched from the stands. I like the excitement of the assistant coaches on the bench. What do you think?

I love watching the reaction of fans when their team succeeds/fails almost as much as the play on the field/court.

Even through you captured the dunk from the backside you got great story telling action.
Good catch!

I like it! Too bad the player wasn't facing the other way. That is pretty much my luck, I'm always on the wrong side of the court/rink/field!

I actually misread yr title as DRUNK at a UNCG game and thought ooh this wll be interesting , then I looked at yr shot and realised what it really was , ha ha ha . This is a great image , as mentioned the emotion in the background is great and more than compensates for the direction the player is facing and may even add something as the player is facing them and its an exchange of emotion which is just fantastic . It would have been cool if you had captured the reflection of the crowd as a whole , but hey this is a great shot as is . All the best .
