Summer Hockey Time!

1.

These seem a little underexposed, but nice action.

Shadiow:

Nice to see someone else still stuck in cold hockey rinks this time of year too. I agree images look a little dark on my monitor. Plus, the focus looks off in #1 and #3. Most importantly, the ice seems to have a weird coppery or sepia color to it on my monitor which just does not look right. #4 is the best shot, but I think tweak the WB and exposure a bit and it will be much better. My preference is to sacrifice some of the detail in the ice for brighter exposure on the players. Sometimes I go a bit too far but I think your shots could benefit from this to some degree.

Cheers!

Since you have the image editing on I gave the last pic a tweak. Tighter crop, adjusted the levels, went white off the helmet, lightened the shadows and a light sharpening. It presents as a different shot for your opinion. The pants came back to their real colour, but are a tad blotchy. You could monkey with it a bit, I did it rather quickly.
