Nice looking shots! My only C&C is that they could pop more.

My favorites from this set are 1, 3, and 5. This is because I like the action that is happening in each frame.

Shame on you! Look at these things! All I can say is what the hell took you so long to post these here? I love them all. Love #3, even though he has a pod coming out of his rear-end. (OUCH) and he is wearing my jersey. i also like number 5. Guess i like to see guys into the game so much they are diving. Great shots.

Thanks all!

I agree with them needing to pop more--how would I go about doing it? Is it a way of cropping?

Haha yeah I just found this site and noticed the variety in each photo section--thought I'd share this eccentric sport. Where do you play? And/or are you going to NEO or World Cup?

Heyyy Matt how's it goin. I'm having difficulties with my work in that I want them to have a wow effect... but I don't want to result to really photoshopping them outside of cropping here and there. There has to be a way and I think it's maybe how I'm not framing the shots right or something.

Everyone has their own style and way that they frame stuff. Just try different things and see what works best for you is the best advice I probably have. Kind of busy for me, but I like them http://imgs.pbnation.com/smilies/thumbs_up.gif

I think they look great! In other news my 40D arrived today, and I have a 100-400L in the mail... The only other lens I have is the 50mm 1.8 though, had to sell the sigmas. Time to save up for a wide angle!

I think these are great pictures. There is an unfortunate trend in paintball toward black and darker jerseys that makes it more difficult to get pictures that “pop”

Which I find very interesting, considering a few years ago it was the opposite. People wanted bright and colorful to show we were "coming out of the woods".

Today on the field I noticed that about 80% of the players were head to toe in black. The photos naturally turned out more 'chaotic' because everything around them stood out.

...I think they should all wear vests ;)
