.........of a 400 MM f2.8. I took this from the back of the end zone during the point after attempt after a touchdown.......Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

too many times I look at shots and do not comment even though I think comments to myself. Mostly becuase I think I am still too inexperienced to give good C&C, but here goes anyway.

Love the shot, but would really like it more if the player's shoulder wasn't in the frame so much, but I do like the quarterback's look...

Also, looks like alot of dust or dirt on the lens...upper left corner.? my $0.02

Very cool shot!

Maybe with a little love from Photoshop you can just "clone" the grass in the background, and the QB's uniform and make that opposing player vanish.

I too, wish that the defensive player was not in the shot. I assure you, he was not there when I framed the shot, but moved into the frame at the last moment. And that is not dirt you are seeing, it is rain.......

Thanks!

Hey John, this one goes in the category of nice eyes, and almost. maybe a REAL tight crop on the eyes and helmet?

a vertical panoramic crop could work nice as part of a player collage
