might I suggest a tighter crop.

1st one, crop away the left half

2nd one, crop out the player on the right. and tighter from the top too.

OT.. Damn, I miss the EPL

MrMaca, thanks for your comments. I noticed you’re from Liverpool, you may see one of these pictures in the Liverpool Daily Post on Tuesday in the amateur football section, I’ve also sent some in from the Rock Ferry v Hoylake game. I went the Liverpool game yesterday and was dead envious of all the pros taking photos:p.

Aaagogo, thanks for your suggestions, It’s always good to get constructive comments especially as I’ve only had my DSLR for about 12 months, cheers buddy. By the way, whats the EPL?

I live not too far from Tranmere Rovers football ground but I’m originally from Oxton / Claughton. The footy photos are of Dock FC, a team that I have been involved in for 20 years; I also run their website www.dockafc.co.uk. I’m quite lucky with tickets for Liverpool FC, I don’t have a season ticket but I get tickets for most games (I only missed one home game last season, the Champions League Semi Final against Chelsea).

Nice clean pictures, good focus and good background separation.
Good win on Saturday, haven't looked yet to see how Everton went yesterday. Chris the media (in OZ) often use the term EPL for Premier League.
I read the LDP and Echo every day, will have to hunt deeper in to it on Wednesday. How about you scan and post on the forum...:)
Cheers Ken.


EDIT Just had a quick look at TheTimes 1 nil down.......:)......:).......:)

Hi Ken, It finished 1-0 to Fulham. Good result for us Red Boys.

A couple more from the same game. The large guy who looks nothing like a footballer was actually quite skilful, a bit of a Jan Molby.
