A few more from our game last Friday. Think I might have my LCD screen set too bright, images were all under-exposed again. Full set on Pix and Flickr.

Guy on the right in the 3rd picture wasn't bounced on his mother's lap very often at a guess.

Pictures are nice 1+3 stand out for me.

No 3 is perfect, action, ball and determination on players' faces

First one the horizon takes your eye away.

Second one, sadly the upright takes away from it.

Last one is maybe a second too late but it does convey the scoring emotion.

Do you really think the post takes away from it? Maybe it could have been positioned better, but without it it's a nothing shot as you wouldn't know he was shooting on goal. I actually quite like it.

On #4, sitting right beside the goal we scored into against Longford, I did well to take anything at all. But yeah I agree, he was just gone past me.

3. is a cracker...really like it, and 4 is good too.

The post kills the second one for me though unfotunately, if it was positiond further left then it would have worked, but as it is it just splits the image in two

Really like #3

Some nice shots whyulittle.

No. 1 is a loveley action shot, although is somewhat distracted by the crowds in the stands.

No. 2 This could have been nice only for the goal post in the way.

No. 3 Well done. Great money shot. Nice balance of colours, however would ya have a word with the wee lads mammy to give him a few more weetabix in the mornings

No. 4 Interesting point of view of this guy. I think it works because it leaves you asking "what happened next ?".

OK so, I think that's the jury in on #2. I have a different version of it that I'll stick up later on. Thanks for all the comments.

Why the post ruins it is that the ball is not close enough. (to the goalline)
and if anything it looks like the ball would've went well wide in anycase.
#1 is interesting because the guy on the ball, love the way his boot is hooked around the ball, great skill that.

Not going wide, it was a curling effort.

Here is the other version. What I preferred with the first one was that you can see both of them watching it head towards goal.
