Occasionally the sun came out.





C&C welcome. Three of these shots were in the local paper. One was front page above the fold.

Great shots. you really captured the intensity.

nice shots. My one recommendation - less 'sky' and more 'turf' on a shot like #5. The goalie shot is nice but too much dead space - next shot in the sequence should get the ball closer to her and allow you to crop a bit tighter and get rid of the dead space between her and the ball and behind her as well. Last shot is my favorite - very good capture that one! Classic shot with great timing.

Thanks for the comments.

Johng: I see your point about less sky, more turf. For that shot I think I was right on the side line. I usually try to stay on the track to get a slightly higher POV. It may only be a few inches but most of the time it works. I also find that if I get to high I loose some of the intensity on the players faces. The next goalie shot after this one had a runner partially blocking the goalie so it was a no go. I try not to crop goalie shots as much as others because I want to preserve a sense of depth and space. Just a personal preference I guess.

How about these:
