I agree with increasing aperture to decrease the presence of background subject matter, and also maybe a slightly lower perspective.

Good capture of action. I'd have liked to see a tighter crop though.

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!

Looks like tough light from the sun. Great stopped action, I like how the player is being surrounded by the other 3 :) The building in the background is a shame, the exif says f/1.6 which is a little strange, I assume you were more like f/5.6. If your aperture was smaller then the building may have disappeared more. Also, it may have been up hill but it looks a little tilted to me. Maybe a different shot could be a portrait shot cropped right in on the single player with the arms attacking

Good football shot. Love how you caught the action of the defender trying to rip the ball loose.
