    Wow, I gotta say, that's a quality image. Sharpness, color, contrast...all top notch. What gear did you capture it with?

    The only critical comment I have is that its too bad the defender's feet got cropped off.

    I used a Canon 30D with a Canon 70-200 2.8L lens. My editor doesn't mind feet getting cropped off.

    It's probably the only daytime football action I'll get all season so I tried to take advantage of it.

    Great Shot, the color is amazing. How much Post Processing did you have to do, and what program do you use?

    Nice crisp shot with great color. My son is currently in his second week of Hell-Week for his high school and I've been out there as often as I can taking some shots. I've been talking to the coaches so I can get on the field during game time, which is at 3pm. Looking forward to getting some action shots of my son playing.

    Thanks for the comment. 3:00 should be a good time to shoot as the sun will be starting to come down a bit. Best of luck and have fun.
