It seems not matter how hard I try, I always get behind in processing my images...

These are from a game 3 weeks ago that I just finished up. I tried a new sharpening procedure on these. I used a high pass filter on a duplicated layer, using a layer mask to selectively sharpen what areas I wanted.

All were shot with my 50D (the last game I shot with it before getting my 1D2!) and 70-200 f/2.8L. Exif should be intact, but around ISO 1600-6400, 1/400-1/500, f/2.8.

C&C is welcome as always! I'm needing help from everyone to improve my images!

#6 This one was way underexposed because there is no light in our endzones. I tried to go for an older film/newspaper look with it. I was just playing around, but would appreciate any feedback you may have!

I love the emotion in that one too! Emotion and expressions are my favorite thing about sports images.

Cool, thanks!

I was kind of playing around with #6...I'm glad you like it. Its not the greatest image, technically (no eyes, player's looking down), but I just used it to try some different processing out.
