Everybody complains about night shooting but daytime football has it's own problems. #5 is the best moment. I like #2 but it looks backfocused a hair. The defender's dreads are sharp, but QBs face isn't. Overall, not bad, not a lot happening in the last two though IMO.

Still looks like you have too much contrast going on. Either way, good captures!

I guess you wouldn't want a smiling jube shot of the front runner for the Heisman trophy? Nothing happening? I guess that is why you aren't an editor. No take is complete without emotion - happiness, dejection, anger, etc. At least it isn't a picture of his back. I could have filled it with another action shot, but emotion sells and a take isn't complete without emotion.

Keep trying at the sports.

Yeah, definitely understand the opinion on the contrast. I think I am clipping orange in 4.

That particular one? No, I wouldn't.

The second thing is just a cheap shot, but such is life. If it makes you feel better, that's what matters I guess.

Nice shots, but i am not a fan of the high contrast look you have going on.

You should spend more time learning how to take an interesting shot that includes faces and way less time being obsessed with me. :lol:
