Good stuff in 4 and 5. Great moment caught.

I love #4, how did you catch that one?

Yes, all very nice, especially the "jump" shots.

Maybe #7 would be better with some of the top cropped off?

I also like #4 and #5.

They are all in general under-exposed.

Gotta agree with bobbyz, these are all under exposed. A quick levels adjustment or if you shot raw about half a stop in ACR.

Love 4 & 5, great timing. On #7 you cut off a foot. If that was the way it was taken, try a landscape crop of the torso. That will also help reduce the wasted space above him.

I'm going to stretch the RAW comment and say if you get it right the first time (when taking the image) you won't have to worry about fixing it later. You can cut your post down to nothing if you get it right in camera by watching the histogram and knowing what you want.

#4 is the best action caught, as for getting it question pretty sure it started with pointing the camera towards second and seeing the play develop. It's the winner and makes #5 obsolete IMO as it doesn't offer much of the follow up.

#7 it looks like you're using CPF and want it on his chest - use a higher focal point and let him fall into the image instead and you won't get that dead space on top. Just a guess...

Some could use tigher crops to get rid of dead space and the backgrounds that dont add to the photo.

Last thing - follow the forum rules of only 8 images allowed.

thanks all and i have to agree they are under exposed but it was 4am. I've got to figure out my histogram. I'll work on that tomorrow
