    Welcome, fourbanger.

    Your photos show some great potential, but they need work. First, though, great job on capturing the action. You did a very good job of freezing everything.

    I'm with masdog here. You have some good work, but there is room for improvement. I would suggest first of all you spend a little time going back through the last couple of months post here of night football and check out some of the questions and answers. I think that you will find some great examples. Once you have done that come on back with some specific questions and see if someone can help. Some very good photogs here that will be glad to help.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    i agree with what was said before. Also, and easy improvement is to watch your horizons. They are crooked in all 3 photos.
