What DeepCull evaluates in Sports Mode

✓
Peak Action
The tackle, the header, the slam dunk, the finish line — scored by moment intensity & athletic peak
✓
Ball in Frame
Ball, puck, or object visible & positioned — editors reject great action shots without the ball
✓
Athlete Expression
Intensity, celebration, agony, focus — the human drama that makes a sports photo publishable
✓
Clean Background
Subject isolation, crowd separation, clean sight lines — composition that works at print scale

Score & Reason

Every Frame Scored. Every Pick Explained.

Set your sport & DeepCull evaluates every frame for editorial impact. The diving catch, the goal celebration, the photo finish. Not just technically sharp. Editorially decisive. A score & a reason on every frame, so your editor never asks "why this one?"

✓Evaluates by sport context: peak action, celebration, contact, finish
✓Detects ball/puck position relative to athlete & frame
✓Flags technical issues: missed focus, motion blur, obstruction, limb crop
✓Written reasoning your editor can read — "why this frame, not the next one"
