    Very good shot, all wrapped up. Seems a little blurry in spots, over all great shot. I really like it fills the frame very well.

    For this one you can use Shadows & Highlights to adjust the lighting and lighten up the shadows, otherwise nice shot, the motion blurr works for this one.

    Re: Last nights BB game

    A bit of the focus issue is due to the very shallow DOF of a very fast lens. This is desirable most of the time to isolate the subject from the backround, but when you are shooting a group it can result in some focus issues. Nice shot and good capture.

    Re: Last nights BB game

    Thank you JS and dhyravy.....

    You are right with the DOF...sometimes when I am under the basket, and try to shoot layups..can't get everything in the shot....I do much better at the corners, and that is where this shot happened...
