Interesting thread. I thought the PP might have been getting bigger while I was asleep, but it mainly seems to be a tennis thing only up to this point. If I look at this weeks best sport photos: http://totallycoolpix.com/2012/01/co...-2012-week-04/ I still see that the standard shot on a specific point during or after the game still makes the headlines.
I guess the best sports photos are the ones that have a story on them. But still I must say that I like the tennis heavy PP photos a lot. Albeit more as productphotos than sportsphotos.
