Personally I think their bodies look phenomenal — strong, toned, fit, healthy (as are the opponents also pictured). These women exercise 2-3 hours per day and it shows. Yes, it's hard to keep a pretty face during physical exertion. Yes, almost all women have cellulite. Yes, thighs often look undefined from certain angles during some parts of the gait cycle. None of this needs to be avoided in conversation or in social media posts. It is simply the way the human body works. These three women are absolutely beautiful athletes to watch in action. Let young girls see these photos on social media and understand that they capture athleticism and health.
I meant and intended no comment or criticism of the players appearance--only on the poor choice of photographs (due to high speed photography) picked by whomever has the responsibility at Notre Dame. If I was the editor, I would have rejected two of the three photographs and asked the person doing the submitting to present photographs with better composition and less distortion caused to the subjects by the high speed method of photography used. That is the whole of my intent in posting what I did earlier. If I had it to over again, I would have posted this:
"If I was the editor, I would not have chosen these photographs to showcase these players due to poor composition."
And left it at that.
Period--paragraph--end of story.
But you didn't; you posted about how the pictures made the players look "less attractive".
What does that have to do with "high speed photography"? and "composition"?
In what way are the photographs showing "distortion"?
What's wrong with the "composition"?
I see physical exertion, nothing more or less...are pictures of athletes in action supposed to make them
look "attractive"?
These aren't poses...
Seriously, I don't get it.
