First try!!

Just got my XTi, never shot with DSLR before.

I work for KC Chiefs Radio Network and got a chance to go down to the field. I shot this with my 70-200MM f/2.8 non IS. First time shooting ANYTHING with that lens as I got it the day before. I don't use any Noise software cause I don't have any yet. I also didn't do much in Photoshop as I don't know what I am doing and didn't want to mess up the images.

I want your C&C. Please be honest, I want to get better. I know my cropping sucks on some of them, but still want your input.

Oh, by the way, you all do amazing work!!
Thanks.

Not bad! real nice DOF...! congrats on your new rig.

first one's great.. on the second one, I would've put the aperture up to get the player in the back into focus as well (I guess around or a little more than f/4 would work)

good photos. vibrant.

are you going to be the official photographer for the radio network?

YEAH FOR THE CHIEFS! Go Tony G.!

like the first, one try and get the facial expression for those types of pre-game shots or getting really wide and close so that you can see the crowd is always nice ... and i might crop a little tighter the first one... congrats on the new set-up

here are a couple of shots where facial expression and shooting tight looks good:
