I am not looking for a click I want to see if I can get a debate going. Have a look at THIS PICTURE.
1. Would you class this as action?
2. Would you submit this photograph?
3. If you are the sports editor of a newspaper would you use this photograph?
1. Yes it is action.
2. No I wouldn't
3. IF i was a sports editor... No I dont think I would.
The points you mention are not obvious enough in the photo. If however this action led to a player breaking a leg then maybe it would get used. But then the shot of the player being stretchered off is more likely to make print.

Strawman ... we are not allowed to alter the photograph in the way you say. All I can do is normal photposhop work. The rest is honestly not allowed, it is classed as cheating.
1. Yes
2. No
3. No - The shot doesnt tell me anything about the match apart from a player is jumping with the keeper. It didnt look like a key moment during the match (ie goal, injury, sending off etc). Also i cant tell from the photo whos the real winner or loser...
My sports Editor at Cornwall and Devon Media would not touch it Frank, a good action pic but you really need to see the players faces, backs of players usually don't sell ! I wouldn't send it in to any of my papers.

LOL John , but I think that Hartlepool is just a little out of my area !! Now Truro City or The Cornish Pirates , that's another thing........... 
)))))
This is what I wanted people to say YEs or NO ....
Of course you know that I have said that I would never use a pic like this unless.....
