3rd attempt. This game was played at a professional soccer stadium so the lighting was awesome. It's a bummer that we played so terrible and lost because I won't get to shoot there again next Friday :p

I'm not on a callibrated monitor so it might be my laptop screen, but the whites look blown in most of these. Also there is a lot of noise, probably due to the xti body. Id run these through some noise reduction and adjsut the blacks a little.
Good action though, and congrats on the good lighting.

Maybe the noise was fixed, but I'm not seeing it that bad myself.. faces in the first two would be nice.. as well as the missing feet in the first one with so much of the empty seats in the background. Probably would try to add contrast for the black uniforms as mentioned above

With the lighting, I tried to get them perfectly exposed, if not over exposed a bit to keep the noise as low as possible. I ran them through Despeckle in PS already, so it's honestly the body. I did a bit of a saturation and contrast bump to them all as well. Next season I will hopefully have a better body and possibly even the 300 2.8 IS instead of the 70-200 2.8 IS (might use it on the XTi still, but I don't feel like I'd be swapping much anyways).
