Canon DSLR Speed Challenge #10 is officially closed.

And the winners are...

1st: Robuk - Men with odd shaped balls...........
There is lots of action and intensity plus it fills the frame nicely, very well done.

2nd: butcha27 - Tubed
Very good capture, a little dark for the lack of better term. Only “suggestion” will be to crop it so the beach isn’t in the top of the frame.

3rd: (tie) Bryman - Reach for Plastic
Again lots of action and intensity, very nice.

redspyder - Respect Earned
The pitcher and the 3rd base coach show how small #8 is. Very sharp and great color under less then optimum lighting.

Thanks to everyong for posting your photos and letting someone who had never judged a photo competition or slept at a Holiday Inn Express select the best pictures. Well done everyone.

Now ball is in Robuk’s court for the next challenge.

Good choices. I would have chosen the exact same ones, again with Robuk's being the best.

Congratulations Robuk! I had a feeling you were going to win as soon as I saw your post. Excellent capture. Congratulations to all , actually

Thank you for selecting me second and well done to Robuk. I shoot a bit of the game he has captured in his winning shot and it is a top notch job, well done to all who participated

Thanks for the nod Good choices you made. Some really good pictures in this one.

Well done everyone, especially Rob. Looking forward to the next one.
