    More Freshmen Action

    Just a few more shots during the freshmen practice.



    I like this second shot. Makes you wonder what happened next.




    Thanks for looking. All comments are welcomed.

    Re: More Freshmen Action

    Couple of nice action shots here Jim. I really like one because you caught the peak action with the receiver off the ground and plucking the ball out of the air and the second because of the anticipation of the collision to follow. I would have liked to see both with a little tighter crop. Nice job over all.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Re: More Freshmen Action

    Great job, Jim. I would go with a much tigher crop on the third one. The open space is very distracting, and you could end up with a much more dynamic shot with just the running back.

    I agree iwth OT when he says the first shot needs a tighter crop. #4 in the background doesn't add much to the picture, and the tennis courts and empty space takes the focus off of the players.

    The second shot is great. Muy Perfecto!
