Women's Lacrosse - Div I - Stony Brook vs Boston

[aram535]

Feedback is appreciated. I'm trying a couple of new shots that are a little busier than normal to show peak of action. Not convinced yet, as they seem to distracting to me.

I like #5 and #4 the most. The others seem ...well..distracting like you said.
#1...the white rails take away from the action a bit. I might crop more of the below feet area on this one.
#2..this actually is another good shot to me. Just don't like the thing on the left side sticking out./
#3..i think focus missed somewhere?

This is why a second set of eyes is always welcomed. You're right on 1 and 3. #3 looks like the focus in somewhere between #8 and the SB player's knee so her face got out of the DOF. Not sure if I can fix #1, maybe if I under exposed the fence, it might melt a little.

#2 is a back of someone else's shoe that I didn't want to crop anymore but it was fixed in photoshop later on when I noticed it.
