Is there anyone that can give me some comments?

The action in shots #1& 2 are nice, but the shadows distract from the composition. On the other hand #9 and 10 are the best IMHO, and #3 would have been a keeper if it wasnt for the distracting background. They are all pretty nice shots though

Actually, image posting rules limit # of photos posted to 8.

Now onto the pics. You would have had better results if you would have shot w/ the sun at your back. The faces are too much in the shadows. Look at the difference between #10 and #1. Also, I would have shot f/2.8 to help w/ blurring out the distracting backgrounds. Shooting through the net is a bit distracting. For a first time out, you did a pretty decent job at capturing the action. Some nit-picky things to look out for is chopping off hands and feet.

Thanks for the feedback!
