I'm with Rick; I think the timing on this was just right. You can see him already flinching and everyone else already pulling faces as well :)

Oh it was! The ball was kicked by one of the players in black and white who is out of shot to the right! :shock:

Great shot! And with the 7D, you could have spun off 3-4 frames to get the full effect of catching one in the kisser!

I was on continuous but I'd stopped at the wrong bally moment, one more shot and I would have had 'ball squashed on face!' :D

I doubt you would have gotten the compression of the ball with another shot, most likely would have been bouncing back the other way already.

on the technical side, the noise and image quality looks horrible for a 7D. Some clean up in post processing would definitely help here.

That's what I was thinking too. I'm just wondering how much cropping was done to get to this final frame. Thus the noise level. Aren't soccer/football pitches fairly large and so you were probably quite a ways away from the action with only a 70-200 on a crop body camera.

Just me guessing from your sig and what I know about the 7D and that focal range.

It's still a fun shot, Ouch!!!!

Yes it could. This is straight out of the camera, nothing done but resized.

I'm a newbie and was shooting without a flash, experimenting.

This taken about 20.00 hrs on 21st August. The settings were 70-200 @ 70mm, 1/1000th, f2.8, ISO 2500

Here's a couple more.

1 Taken at about 19.50 - f2.8, 1/1000, ISO 2000, 70 - 200 @ 120mm
