nice set

Great set, guy in #4 looks like he's going to get snapped in half..!

Nice set, although they look a little over-exposed.

What makes you say that?

They may be a touch too light, but not overly so. I would not change them. Overall a very nice job! What lens did you use?

400/2.8 IS

Check your histogram, some pics have a fair bit of burn out.

Yes, but that is inevitable when shooting backlit in harsh lighting conditions.

+1. Agreed. I think they look fine considering the lighting conditions.

Yep.
He was exposing for the player, not the background.

Well put, I often rely too much on my Histogram for exposure, but unfortunately when shooting sport you don't have the privilege of perfect lighting, I'm often under exposed I think.

Oh and OP, nice pics, I would love to have a play with a 400 f2.8!

These are really good. Photo #2 - bet that left a mark!

thats the action

Thanks for the feedback guys
I haven't shot any sports for over 2 months so it was nice to get back out there. It was also my first time with some new equipment (1d4 & 400/2.8), which took some getting used to!
