So this is my first time shooting soccer. And I'm torn between these two crops for this shot. Which do you prefer?

I like #2. I am usually a sucker for the tight crop.

I'm with shot 1 as well since it has the ball in frame.

as a sports photo editor, neither is great, but #1 is much better simply because it has the ball, players in the forground, and some background. use a 2x3 crop instead of 4x5 crop and take off some of the top and bottom starting with the mainly empty top..


I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.
