There is something about this shot I really like. It maybe the series leading up to it, but that is not what a client will see. they will see one photo.

I cannot quite grasp the best crop. i see more to this photo, but it's alluding me!

Suggestions?

trash it... just by seeing this picture alone I dont like it. The out of focus player is taking up too much of the foreground and it distracts a lot from the photo as a whole

Trash. It would be too cut off if it were cropped, missing half of his arm, and half of his body...

Here's my best crop with tired eyes ... done in PS4 (I get better colors/light in lightroom) ignore the pixalated, I cropped the web file.

Vinny, I think that's the best crop to draw more attention to the puck but I don't think it's a keeper.

The crop looks ok but in the end I guess it's one of those shots where you just have to say "gee that would have been good if he didn't get in the way" ..... I definitely have plenty of those!

I'd crop the ice on the right, stretch it out, and use the white for your desktop background. :)

Just coming in to the thread with no knowledge of what section this was in, I didn't even recognize that the puck was there; it blends in too much with the goalie. Even the crop looked like you were showing a rather uninteresting view of the goalie himself.

It just seems too busy to me... Btw, earlier I didn't mean to say the image was trash, rather to trash it lol. Just to clarify.

Phil, I like it! I will get many more of this kid as the year goes on. But that is the one I like too!

Normally, I pass on the photo. Maybe it's the goalie in me, but I had to fight for this one. :)

Trash it, or talk trash about it ... I can handle either LOL :)
