I like them too, though, I'm not so keen on the darker lit ones, but I like the quirkiness, and I agree these photos deglamorize the athletes, which I think a good thing. But some are too low lit for my eye, and as a result, it's hard for me to visually *know the subject* because I can't see them clearly. But that said, overall, I think they're all right in a quirky, whimsical way. Cheers, Christine
