    Re: Rugby Game

    First I will say it looks like you took the shot from the stands and zoomed in as much as you could. You have a lot of things going on in the picture and have a lot of empty space along the bottom. A closer crop on the tackle would be better, this in only my opinion, although with a closer crop it looks like that will show a lot more noise then is shown now. I'm looking at the tackle and see a nice capture of action but keep looking to the right with the two on the ground.

    I agree with Jim here you have some good action but too much dead area at the bottom and the action in the right back ground detracts somewhat from the main area of interest. I would love to see more of this exciting sport.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
