Good timing for peak action. Crop this tighter and you have a winner. I might also play with the levels or blacks to drop that background a bit since its mostly dark anyway.

This is great timing, great focus, and overall a good shot. My only nit, and one you likely cant do anything about is the noise in the shot. I'm sure you did noise reduction, and I know what a dungeon these places are to shoot it, so I cant fault you one bit for it. But geeze I did have to find something wrong with it! :D

I have to agree with the others.....although I'm not a fan of shooting through the net, it competes with my attention to the real subjects the ball and player. Yellow cast esy to fix by picking a white point in curves, or playing with color balance.

If this shot isnt full frame work on the horizon of it, either in post, or remember to work on this during the game. This actually looks a bit past peak action. Good focus, great lens as well! I love the 135F2

This is a nice tight shot, albeit too tight for me. If your lens is this tight then perhaps a different position. The timing, the action, the focus are all good, I just wish it weren't so tight. Otherwise this is a great shot.

Hi Kat,

My comment on this shot is two fold. First you have good action, but there are a couple of problems with it. When shooting backlight you need to either meter for the faces and not worry about the backgrounds, or find a way to fill(flash). You might also be able to pull some detail out of the shadows. Also watch your horizons, there is a sense of downhill to the right. I think I'd also crop a touch tighter to lose some of the space to the sides. Good start!

What a sad way for it to end for him. But at least you were able to get a pretty shot of it and you tried to save him. Such a big heart!

What a pleasant way to end the challenge and the fall. Very nice shot. I like the negative space and the composition.

Such a cute little flower. I wish the brown dead leaf had been moved. And my eyes keep scanning for a bug.(maybe I'm just a bug guy :D) nice colors and focus.
