I usually would not keep this photo being I chopped off their heads though I wouldn't have gotten the determination... Would you keep the photo?

    I'm not a pro, but I'd keep it, especially if it was my kid.

    Very cute!!

    If you can, shoot with the sun behind you. Then you won't be fighting the faces being 2-stops darker than everything around them.
    In #1, if you are going to keep it, and I'm sure the parent would appreciate the image, you might want to clone out the kids face in the upper right. It looks like a stray head not belonging to #10.

    Thanks for the reply that head is kinda funny I guess I didn't even notice it. Yea, I did the best I could shooting into the sun. Sometimes your just stuck with what you get.

    Nope. I would shoot more, to get a good one. If you must keep this one, crop it very tightly to balance it.

    An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.

    Thanks for your thoughts. The next shot I kept also. This one just shows how many she ran through to get past them. The next shot she is through.
    I liked it because the the expressions I just missed the shot because they were close. I eliminated the photo twice and then wondered if I should keep it?

    Sure, if you like it that's all that matters, keep it. But you asked what I would do, and I would delete it. ne_nau.gif

    Believe me I was just trying to give an excuse to keep it. It's gone in 20 seconds

    #1 - was deleted due to it being a bad picture. Thanks for the thoughts.
    I added another photo that I liked better.

    I wouldnt have kept it either, I wouldnt have ever let a parent see that picture. I only show the best that I have. I want to set myself apart from any other photographer in my area so my expectations are high for myself, and I want the parents to see a huge difference between my pictures and any other sports photographer in the area.
