Good shot... I have to ask though... Did you take this though a plate glass window?

nice capture, some noise reduction in the background would improve this nicely captured image.

Oh man! I love this one! This says so much about a guy's passion about his sport to put everything aside (like getting covered in grit and mud) to excel at every play!

Beautiful photo! Love the composition. Great exposure, too. The muddy jerseys disguise the team colors, so this could be almost anywhere. Would be great for the centered composition challenge.

Originally posted by scooter97: I need to do more shots like this, Yours are really good. You can see his expression real well. I would have worried about the pants being blown out and missed his face entirely. Just my mindset about blown highlights (I hate em).

One thing to remember when shooting for publication/sales/parents not a single one of them cares about the uniform. Its the person that is in the uniform that matters to them. Expose for the faces and let the highlights on the pants end where they may. I probably could have brought them back a little, but really why? Now if I'm shooting an advert for the manu of the uniform I can see worrying about that, but really If I'm doing that they better let me light it how I want and I don't have to compromise. :D
