Theres a shot that I took that was blown out by the tail end of someones strobes. Not everything is blow...but some whites have definitely been clipped beyond recovering. However, the shot doesnt just look overexposed...it just looks like it got strobed.

Do you all think its worth keeping? Or not...

I cant decide.

If its the best you have then keep it, if not "Sin Bin It"

Shown to an average Joe, they would like it. Is it such a great moment that it is unique enough to have to save it... nope. Pretty standard shot that was blown out. Why do you have to decide? It's just another 3 or 4 meg file burned to a cd or dvd. I wouldn't delele it.... I would just burn it and file it.

Adam,

I'm with Mark on this. If this were a spectacular capture, I'd work to recover it, and even if I couldn't, I'd keep it because the moment would trump the proper exposure. However, it's honestly just an average shot (you've posted much better ones).

If I were shooting for somebody, would I submit it? Maybe, if I needed a shot of this player. Otherwise I'd probably delete it.

You want to talk about being strobed: How about THIS shot from the other day:

Not a keeper in my book.
