    I really like these OT. What makes them stand out for me is that I can see their faces and expressions and how much that just adds to the picture. Very nice.

    Re: Small Fry Football

    Thanks Jim. I have tried to be more aware of getting the expressions in my football pics. With the helmets that's not always easy, you need to be in front of the play. The thing that gets me about these little guy is how often I catch them with their eyes closed at the time of impact. Don't get that as often with the bigger guys.

    WOW... As a "football guy" who played nearly all my life through college, I love the looks on the little ones. I love football pics with the faces. It tells a much bigger story.
    You really got some great looks on the kids faces...Nice work..

    Brian, why don't you post them anyway. Perhaps we can pass on a few tips to you.

    OT, I agree with everyone here. These rock and being the sheep I am I'll add that I love their expressions too.

    You have to post Brian! I still don't know my rump from a hole in the ground, but my best learning tool is posting on this board and getting feedback. I've learned so much here I cannot even tell you.

    Thanks everyone for the kind remarks. I agree that the little guys can get very expressive and I had some decent light so that those face showed up the way I like.
