no not really. think about it. just take a second and LOOK at your pictures. then compare them to 90% of all the others in here. and dont tell me you didnt have to tilt your head to really be able to see what you were trying to focus on in the shot(s). THEN go look through some magazines and look at the shots in there, of their event coverage, etc. how many of them look like what you took? if you want to get into it, those shots arent "technically" acceptable, if you want to get into it. so, just sayin!

we're not complaining. i'm PRETTY SURE i know what i'm talking about when it comes to this type of stuff, same with a lot of other guys in here...
