Wrestling C&C

[canons900]

A couple of shots from this past Friday's exhibition matches that took place after the League matches.

The team is 4-1 and this their best record in over 20 years. The boy in the red head gear is my oldest son. The other boy is a 1st year bantam who is doing really well.

Let me know what ou think. Taken with my 20d, siggy 70-200mm 2.8, iso 800, 1/250th flash bounced. Other exif on the flickr page.

C&C is appreciated, did not do too much other some WB, NR and cropping. Have to go get firewood since it is snowing like crazy here right now and the family wants more wood brought in.

Thanks

Scott

The image above may be a little soft, but I like his expression.

Nice pic's, you've managed to capture the intensity of the sport well. I wished I could have used a bounce flash in the gyms my oldest wrestled in when he was in H.S.. Ceilings were way to high, especially the S.S.C. minidome.
Anyway judging by his young age it looks like you have a lot of great photo opportunities ahead of you so keep sharing and good luck with his wrestling career. It seems like it's over before you know it.

Very nice. Bounced light filled in well. I might have gone a little lighter on the noise reduction though Skin closing in on "rubbery" look. Of course, that's just my opinion. Well done.

I'll work on dialing down the NR before I print them. My home monitor is not calibrated. I like the MAC monitors so much better like I have at work.

second shot is very cool, love the action/emotion.

They seem a tad dark though and lacking pop.
