Do you feel the nets adds or takes away from the image? It was intentional

Just my opinion, takes away, but that's me.

They are nice shots but I find the netting distracting.

definitely takes away because, as it is, I can't tell it's netting; it just looks like white streaks. maybe step further back to give it meaning / perspective.

I can't deny that it is a great angle, but I agree, too distracting.

The only time I've shot behind the net with it in the shot was for a goalie save, but other than that, it is a bit distraction.

This is an easy one. The net doesn't add anything esthetically pleasing. BTW for the first one better to either have 1 girl or two, but not 1 and a half in the frame. For the second it's usually better to have the subject not in the center of frame, off to the left or right is more pleasing, but there are exceptions.

Distracting. Would be better if there was more netting to really add perspective - my opinion.

It only works if you can tell it's netting and if it's relevant to the situation at hand..... ball coming in, goalie stopping shot, etc
