Some soccer head shots

Shot a varsity game at the beginning of the week with two rival teams. There was a lot of action between the two and I ended up with some great shots, well at least I think so. Wanted to share a few of them.

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

#6
This one isn't a header but I like the action in it.

Well Homer, you have some very good shots here, and very good timing as well :

I wouldn't be surprised if smartWombat doesn't pick one of these for POTW.... question is which one, there are a couple good choices.
You sure have improved things, nice job!

Very nice action and pics. I love the timing on these.

Thanks a lot JS, I'd have to say that my timing has improved a bit over this last year.

Jim,

Have you noticed your timing is better since using the MKII N? If so it's probably due to being used to shooting earlier than you wanted to, now it's right on time as you don't have the shutter lag.

Yes, I have found that my timing is a lot better now that I have the MKII N. I truly love that camera.

Decisions, decisions, which one of those do I pick?
The action is good, but when I shrink them to thumbnails which one shows the subject best?

SW......
I vote for #2...... I like them all, but #2 showes it all, faces, ball and expressions of players.

Just my $0.02..

Thats why I left the choice to you SW

They all could work, but I think (at this time of morning

) that #2 is probably the best one, but #3 & #6 aren't bad either.... lotta help I am am

they're all good, but
#1 there's that bit of a player on the left and the goalie by her hand
#2 the ball's gone, leaving a head-butt and knee to the thigh - great hair though !
#3 there's that shadow, otherwise I'd say it's best of the bunch
#4 shame about the white in the background and her white shirt
#5 great pose, oh why has she got her eyes shut?
#6 not a header, but great action, ball right on her foot
I like them all
