Southern Oklahoma Football

SoonerShawn

This was taken at a Jr. High Football Game in So. Oklahoma. Wish I hadn't clipped the toes, but still one of my better football shots to this point I think. Would love to hear some critiques for anyone who has time.

Shawn,

I think it's a good image. Nice action, good exposure, very sharp and good color.
What keeps it from being very good is if this is a pass it looks like the ball is going to go several yards past the receiver (tip isn't even down yet)

The thing keeping it from being great is it's a split second early - so even if the pass/catch was on target the timing needs to be a bit better. You really want to capture the ball as close to the catch as possible. FWIW, catches are probably the toughest shots to get.

Yup, what he said ^^^. Almost perfect!
