    Bravo. With shots like that you're sure to get some sales - parents love pics of the kids playing sports.

    Number one is your best. All the others are very good, but could be made event better by cropping away the extraneous stuff. It all depends on if you have the time to manually crop or not. What lens are you using?

    Bill, I agree with your comment on cropping. Problem is, these are already pretty well croped from the original shot. If I crop much tighter then I going to lose quality. I am using a 70-200L f2.8 with a 1.4 extender, so my reach is somewhat limited unless the play is coming right at me. I do need to try shoot tighter so the final cropped image can be made tighter. Thanks for your comments.

    Here are a few more from the same day.....

    Hi John,

    This last batch looks a bit OE. In the first, the first shot is nice though the
    horizon is rotated a tad.
