    Which would ypu choose?

    I have to finish an album for my son's soccer team and have one pic left. Which of this sequence would you choose and would you change the crop to be tighter on the heads?

    I think I like the 2nd one the best and yes, I would definately crop it tighter.

    I choose the first one. When it’s placed in the album it will leave a question, what happened next. Did the goalie get the ball, or was it headed away or did they collide. It’s a great picture to let people continue the story. I would maybe crop it a little tighter removing some of the grass and lights, to help focus on the real story. What happen to the ball and players?

    I would choose number one. The ball is up for grabs, for one thing. That creates a suspenseful picture because people like to imagine what happened next, like dk said, and the second one already shows the outcome. The third is a great picture, but there's no ball, so it's just a shot of a collision.

    But then again, it's hard to really decide without seeing the rest of the album. Because if you have nothing like the last picture, than that might be the best choice

    Number 1 is the best, but number 3 is the funniest.

    Thanks for all of the insights. I went for #1 with a tighter crop.
