    too many times I look at shots and do not comment even though I think comments to myself. Mostly becuase I think I am still too inexperienced to give good C&C, but here goes anyway.

    Love the shot, but would really like it more if the player's shoulder wasn't in the frame so much, but I do like the quarterback's look...

    Also, looks like alot of dust or dirt on the lens...upper left corner.? my $0.02

    Very cool shot!

    Maybe with a little love from Photoshop you can just "clone" the grass in the background, and the QB's uniform and make that opposing player vanish.
    Let's face it; more gear than sense.

    Canon 7D... Canon 70-200/2.8L IS... Canon 28-70/2.8L... Canon 135/f2L... Canon 85/1.8... Canon 50/1.4... Canon 28/1.8

    I too, wish that the defensive player was not in the shot. I assure you, he was not there when I framed the shot, but moved into the frame at the last moment. And that is not dirt you are seeing, it is rain.......

    Thanks!

    a vertical panoramic crop could work nice as part of a player collage
