Clontarf vs St Marys College today, I hadnt shot any of these ball sports so just looking for something out of the ordinary from what I usually shoot. Cold day and dying light as usual for the winter, shot mostly av and ISO 400 with a Sigma 70-200 f2.8. I have a 1.4x TC but it was a bit dark to use it. C&C welcome

I really like that last one.technically,it would be better if you could see their feet and a bit of ground,but for me ,it has a lot of soul,for want of a better word,and in my book,thats much more important than technical perfection

The last one has the most potential, but I think a crop along the top, and some smart sharpening of the jumping players could work with it quite nicely!

Thanks CONMIKE, its my favourite too. The expressions are really strong in the full size

Great shots ,I'm another one for the last shot .
Great focussing with that lens theres a lot of depth in the shot.

Yep agree with everyone the last shot is my fav as well. It tells more of a story than the others.

Thanks for the comments, I agree with you all. Good advice too. I printed out the last picture and turned it to portrait cropping off some of the top. One for the portfolio.
