    Did you use a filter on Adobe Photoshop on some of the photos? I like #4 the best. You might tighten the crop some, especially # 7.

    Not sure about the filter. I'm not one for subdued colors. #7, not only is there a whole mess of space on the right but I have no clue what's going on??? Is 62 the ball carrier and the guy you isolated about to attack?

    Trying to get an individual shot of him in action....he plays center....so it's proving hard to snap just him...these were just some Lightroom presets I was trying, the kids really liked them, but I wasn't to sure about them. It sure was a lot of fun shooting on the field.

    I think its a different and I like it, but you still need to apply the basics of sports photography. Level horizons and tighter crops.

    I like them! 1 and 2 are cool. The effect is different and is nice for a few select pics. I tend to crop much tighter. You have great pics "inside the helmet" so the closer the better in my opinion. Good work and thanks for sharing!

    I do like the look. I know tight cropping is standard in sports shots, but I think all these work in that they give more perspective on the moment. I don't think either #2 or #4 would be nearly as good if they were tight on the individual.

    I do agree about leveling the horizon though.

    PS: #1 is really great... too bad that wasn't the goal line...
    Regards

    Will
