The Return Of Football

FrankieAng

Hello guys and gals,

It's football season again and I hope to see a bunch of gridiron images in this forum over the next few months. I have enjoyed viewing your images prior to becoming a member of DGrin and I hope now to contribute some decent images myself. Please feel free to offer your constructive critique, I am eager to learn how to shoot sports better...so please don't keep your knowledge and expertise to yourself. I'd like to think that we are all still learning to shoot better, even after all these years. Well, here's one from last season to share and I hope to post more of mine and view some of yours.

Hey Frank, nice shot. Great colors and very crisp.

I too am looking forwards to the return of (the other) "football". One son has a tournament next week end and league play starts the weekend after for both of my boys. So, I'll show mine if you show yours

Well, that's an excellent start, I'd say! Very nice.

I'd try to throw more light on his eyes, maybe using Shadows Highlights, or a Curves layer, or your favorite dodging technique.

Thanks for the recommendation, Sid. I have to be honest, I am not the sharpest Crayon in the box when it comes to post processing. I think that I can shed some light on his face using the magic wand tool, then adjusting shadows. I appreciate your thoughts very much.
