    This one is very nice Jeff thumb.gifthumb.gif

    Don't sweat the tilt. As I mentioned in another of your threads, it happens to all of us ne_nau.gif Plus, it's a lot worse when you are shooting in portrait orientation, because the frame is so skinny :uhoh I've lost some nice shots, that once corrected, cut off part of the action headscratch.gif That's just one of the challenges that make this type of shooting so much fun mwink.gif

    I like the action you captured here. You also captured the shooter's face and the ball well. I don't know if you saw Ann McRae's post, last week, about what makes for a good soccer shot (which pretty much pertains to all ball/puck sports). She was told to try to capture Faces, Ball, Action, and Contact (the way I see it, pretty much in that order too). You nailed 3 out of 4 clap.gif

    Good work and thanks for posting,

    Jeff, I think you did good here!

    Every thing Steve said plus, the expression on the shooter's face is one of
    concentration and enjoyment.

    Good work!

    Jeff...
    Nice catch! Anytime you can get a younger player out in the open like that and facing you-you have done well, very well. thumb.gif

    Nice timing, lighting, processing as well. I thought it was funny how you said he was "on the other team". I have a few of those as well-lol. My wife is like-"why did you shoot him\her?" Well...if the shot presents itself, take it there is no "team" in sports photography!

    Looking forward to seeing more of you work.

    Take care.
    If every keystroke was a shutter press I'd be a pro by now...

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
