You've always got great shots.. Good work and great timing on the last two!

Yeah nice shots, I really liked # 4 and then when I saw the last one I couldn't decide which one I liked best LOL.

Any C&C I could give it the colors seem a little flat but, not enough that I would worry about it too much. Your cropping is great and the backgrounds are not any distration at all. To me that is the hardest part of shooting basketball is controlling the backgrounds.

Thanks I'm glad you guys like -- I never think any of my shots are good.... is that normal ?

Steven - Nice work. Good to see Jimmy Graham back on the court, and with Collins and King available (all three ended last year on the bench due to injuries), and Asbury back with Dews and Rios, they're playing tough. What happened to that Sophomore they had last year who was a transfer from Sienna...Jack McClinton?

Now that they're winning, are they drawing decent crowds? The BUC is a really nice facility, but last year, other than the Duke game, rarely had more than 3-4,000 people at a game.

Anyway, thanks for posting, and Go 'Canes!

Hey Dennis,

The sophmore you referenced is Jack McClinton he suffered a finger injury and UM took the precaution of putting a cast on it for a week to make sure it would heal properly ... He is schedule to return as early as Sunday (but I see him sitting that one out)...

Unfortunately they have played at home twice when the football team is playing so they haven't really drawn a good crowd. It's a shame hopefully once they are ranked the buzz will pick-up (considering they are the only winning team right now in South Florida)...

P.S. I purchased Noise Ninja and having been processing all my photos through it since my 40D forces me to shoot at ISO 1600 to get a good exposure and shutter speed combo. I love it... even with the basic profile it makes a huge difference IMO...
