Cross-Counter
Our new segment where we say good things about sports photographs is called Cross-Counter. We decided to go with sports portraits in response to a reader question. Ryu picked (John Tlumacki’s picture of a fan dancing in the stands and Matt picked Kieran Doherty’s picture from the UK Cold Water Swimming Championships. (first picture in gallery).

Special thanks to…
