Pretty good! Shame you cropped out the ball in #2.

Nice Images! #1 is just pure awesome. I like that you can see his face, but his eyes are down at the ball. That's a tricky combination to capture, and you nailed it.

I agree with Hannya, in #2 and 4, it would be nice to keep the ball in frame. And #3, that hose reel (I think?) in the background is a bit distracting, especially since the background is otherwise a great creamy blur. But other than that, you've got great action shots, nice and crisp and in focus!

Are your leaves really just starting to turn? Everything but the oaks have dropped all there leaves here, it looks like we could get snow any day now!

I absolutely LOVE the first one. I'd perhaps crop out some of the right side of the frame and add some to the left (if you have access to content aware fill?).

You must've been low to the ground to get these, huh?

Appreciate the comments. Most of these are pretty much full frame. I left as much of the ball as I could, the second one is full frame. I was using the 400 and 1.4 tele just to give them a try. A bit of a n overkill for this size field.

Yes I was sitting on a step stool chair. I typically use the chair or am on my knees.
