I've spent the last few days using Apple's Aperture to catalog my skillions of sports photos from the past few years, in order to rebuild my portfolio. Here are a few images that, after careful consideration, won't make the cut:
Here's a picture of #82 making a one-handed catch at the back of the end zone:
Golf fans will recognize that this backswing and those love handles belong to big John Daly. Unfortunately, the butt sweat belongs to him as well (Elastic, this one's for you.)
And while we're talking about sweat, how about a little belly sweat from two-time major championship winner, Mark O'Meara?
It's like one of those ink blot tests. In fact, here's a close-up. I don't know about you guys, but I see a cartoon silhouette of an old man laughing:
*** UPDATE ***
Becky, in the field of sweat control, Tiger's no expert (Tiger and Mark were playing in the same group, which is why the same dude is in the background of both shots):

That belly sweat looks like someone who'd be on the Simpsons. I wonder if it's a marketing thing.

I see Bart Simpson (even before I read Carrot's post)
btw, amazing shot of the touchdown.

Ouch. Cool. Eeewww. Ew. Oh I see.
I see an old Bart Simpson.

Me too. He's going "Heh, heh, heh you whippersnapper." It looks like he's wearing a racoon tail hat.

Undershirts? Strategic color selection? There's got to be a way to avoid looking like that in public.

Today, I see a cartoon boy typing on an imaginary keyboard.

it's definitely franklin from the peanuts gang, playing on schroeder's piano.
they should totally try tiger's sweat-wicking golfwear. would that put their own endorsement deals in jeopardy? if so, they should have serious discussions with their sponsors about launching new wick-wear lines of their own so they don't look so... damp when competing.

I think I could worship a man that sweats perfect Charlie Brown images like that. Wow.
I love that butt sweat conjures up thoughts of me. Awwwww, Omar, I accept your sweet butt sweat dedication.
Syar said:
Barnabus has friends! Yay!
Jon said:
I think we should all take a moment to admire the background guy in the sweaty golfer pics. It doesn't look like he moved a muscle from one golfer to the next. That kind of fan dedication needs to be recognized.

I didn't realize you were such an avid sports photographer. Cool :)
I see Bart Simpson too... And a giant maple leaf on John Daly's butt.
