Are you using CS3?

(before I go edit something)

I think the capture is excellent, so only a bit of post would be applied, done.

i like leuce's edit a little more.. your conversion look a little less contrasty. and i like the brighter one better.. i feel you can see more detail in it.

but i do agree with chauncey..... color for football all the way!

Ok, vertical crop, tight, image/adj/shadow/highl​ight top slider @ 5-20% to taste, light USM pass and I think you're done........

You've got it in the camera, so now it is easy.........

;}

EDIT: BTW, I can see two, maybe three crops to try, including the way you have it -- experiment.

i love photoshop :D great capture btw

IMAGE: http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j308/ndhernan/FootballEdit.jpg

so heres what i did...
Curve adjustments to begin. Shadow/Highlight to balance the image out a bit.
Replace color to remove the blue on the Jerseys & Pants. Then I converted the
image to 32 bit and adjusted the Gamma and Exposure. Converted back to an
8 bit image and adjusted the curves under Local Adap. Finally i brought down
the Saturation a bit (was too intense after Gamma and Curve adjustments).

didnt bother cropping it. theres a couple ways it could have been done,
but i thought the original composition was great. i really like the photographer
in the bottom left corner. i think it adds to the "sportiness" of the image

all of this took about 3 minutes or so. what do ya think?

In terms of sports composition a shot where no player eyes can be seen is a problem. The moment is well captured but I think you were on the wrong side of the field #2 should be looking straight at the camera from the other side.

While this is true... I think seeing the player hitting the Wide Recievers face is pretty priceless... So Ill keep that in mind next time.. cant get them all :) thanks for your opinion...
