Sports Warm Up and Link

1. Why is this part of a winning sports photography portfolio?

The players are pouring the cooler of water on (probably) their coach, which represents that the team won the game. Usually, pouring a cooler of water is an action performed when a team wins and is in celebration.

2. What is the shutter speed?

The shutter speed is a high shutter speed, possible 1/1000th of a second or less, because the partially blurry water has stopped motion in the picture, and the players pouring the cooler aren't in motion. 

3. Is this a key moment?

Yes, because this action will only happen once, and cannot be easily recreated (because most likely the water will splash the person one time).

Could this have been planned?

Yes, this could have been planned, because the coach shows no expression while being splashed. Either the coach posed while being splashed, or the photographer took the shot at the right moment.

4. What advanced techniques are present in this photo?
There are some diagonal leading lines (notice the crowd, stadium, and cooler all leading toward his face) that go toward the coach's face. There is also framing, as the coach's face is shown on a white sky background, while the stadium and crowd act as a border around the face.
