You win some; you lose some

My son's soccer team has been struggling this season (to say the least), so it was fun to be able to get a good reaction after they tied up the score this week-end. I know it makes the picture a bit busier, but I like the contrast of the opposing teams keeper on the ground w/ head in his hands... What do you all think?

Hi Colleen
I don't mind the opposition keeper, but I'd crop off of the top and right hand side some more. Like the color. Love the expressions!!!

thanks Ann - is this better? I also tried to clone out parts of the extra player on the right (w/ my rudementary PS skills)....


cheers,

PS - sounds like you (and everyone) had a great time on the shoot-out. Wish I could have gone:uhoh

Hey Colleen
I'd leave the refs head on, and then select the background above the players and gaussian blur it. But yes, I do like the fact that the big smile is now much more clearly the subject.

And yes, I think we all had a fabulous time! Hope you can make the next one!

ok, I tried it again (and replaced the pic in the 3rd post). I guess the ref wasn't so bad that I needed to cut off his head:D (it was the ref on the other side that called back our winning goal )

and tx for the tip on the Gaussian blur - I had heard people mention it, but this gave me reason to check it out and now I have a new tool in my arsenal.
