Very nice action shot, Erica! I'm amazed that there's no detectable noise after shooting this at ISO 1600. Very good composition and DOF. #527208Tom Roe September 22, 2006

Dennis Flanagan September 23, 2006
Good stop action but it would be nice to see either the face of the ball carrier or the defender. #3351611Erica Murphy September 23, 2006
Thanks Dennis and I totally agree. That's a big problem with football. Soccer and rugby images are so much more dramatic because you can see so much more of them.Erica #3351773
