Taking Aim with Soccer

[Abrown1966]

This is a shot of my grandson taken at a special olympics event. Probably should have used a larger f-stop to decrease depth of field. Any comments would be appreciated.

Autofocus seems to have used the net, so you a larger aperture (smaller f/stop) would have brought the young kicker further out of focus.
