Thanks, Godfrey. I understand your comment and, from an artistic point of view, I tend to agree with you.
>From a thematic view, however, the image shows what I saw and wanted to depict. There is no motion blur in the fans or the players and coaches on the sidelines. There is just a touch of blur in the quarterback and running back on the right, who are waiting for the play to develop. There is a moderate amount in the linemen on both sides of the line of scrimmage, as the two sides crash into each other, one trying to penetrate to the QB, the other trying to open a hole for the RB. On the left of the frame, the defensive backs are almost motionless, waiting to see whether the play will be a pass or a run. The four receivers, in white, on the other hand, are flying down field at top speed, and that is what I wanted most to show here. It is the complexity of the action that most interested me and which I was most hoping to display.
