This arena has pretty decent lighting, From a recent High School Varsity game.

    Looks pretty nice. In terms of composition one of the things that I think could be improved on is the fact that the bodies of the players are medling into each other. You never really see a whole person. It appears that #21 is an odd growth coming from between his legs. However in terms of getting the exposure crisp it is definitely very nice. I understand how hard it can be to portray hockey well, I am about to post a bunch of mine. Which have lots of room for improvement.

    Thanks!

    This "Barn" is pretty large and very old with a ton of History. The drawback is really that the One good vantage point to shoot from in way up near the roof, The press box. It's nice because your up over the glass mostly but your also looking down on everything. There are a couple other places I like to shoot from but then I'm in parents sight lines, yeah not good.

    I see what you mean about Stacked players and hadn't given that much consideration, I will now though.

    I think its pretty good. One of the tough things about shooting hockey is the players are all over the place. One way to overcome this is to shoot a series of shots and hopefully you get the one you are looking for. Shooting from up above gives you a nice perspective. Well done.
