    you got some great action Garythumb.gif I love how the facial expressions really show the intensity of their play. But clue in this naive american - what does it mean to be "going for the try"?

    Thanks Coleen
    A try is when the ball is touched down on or beyond the white line

    Gary,
    The shots are nice. I suppose the technique is similar to shooting races...

    But these shots look like having - I am no expert - too much Shadow/Hightlight, or Unshap Mask, I don't know eek7.gif...
    They don't have the usual quality, or the quality of the other photos you posted before
    Is there a white halo or is it from my monitor ?
    Look at this one:

    can you see what I am trying to explain ?
    Look at this one and then to the others...
    Can you see, now ?:):

    Thank'a Antonio
    This has been mentioned before but not about my photo's i think it is something to do with Smugmug giving them more sharpening

    I have reprocessed it in photoshop instead of raw shooter and no sharpening

    For the rugby shots i think they are all backlit so it could be the sun
