    i think it is a cool shot, nice job! you may want to try a slightly tighter crop (for example taking out the player on the far right or some of the open space on top and bottom) and see how you like it.

    Its rare that motion blur works in stick-and-ball sports but this one works very well specifically because the important player in the shot is sharp, its the supporting cast that is blurred. I agree about cropping. I would do a tight vertical crop. In football, "tight is right".

    I forgot to add, the noise is irrelevant. Its night football, there is going to be noise. You cannot get around it. Its not a professionally lit stadium. Don't worry about the noise, worry only about the composition, the shot itself.

    that's pretty cool - my 1st impression was the guy had to be photoshopped in - he's just too crisp given the rest of the shot. But even so, it works.

    Very nice shot.
    It looks like SM East against SMNW. I have 2 sons that play for SM West.
    Kyle and Matt Crow. I just bought a new Olympus E-500 so that I could take pictures at the Kansas Shrine Bowl All-Star game of my son Kyle. Looking forward to getting some good shots next year of Matt and the team who will be a Senior. I run the FB website at www.smwfootball.com Maybe I will see you at the SMNW vs. SMW game ( Assuming that you are from SMNW and not SME).

    Did you photoshop this to get this result? It looks good whatever you did.

    I like the shot. And I like the composition. You've positioned the subjec pretty much right at the "rule of thirds" point -- which is good classical composition.

    I too wonder if it's a product of photoshop manipulation. If not, then what a great capture of a sharp subject with the rest of the players motion blurred.

    thats who it is all right. clap.gif. and yes... im from snmw. how ever i was class of 06 and moving to colorado soon :cry. i was at almost every smnw game.... i had to have seen you some time.

    Oh and no... i did not use photoshop to get that look. all i used photoshop for was levels and a little bit of noise reduction, but the blur was all in camera.
