Great shots!
In my son’s HS senior year I put together a book with action shots of all the seniors on the team. They won the school’s first state championship that year and it was a great memento for the kids.

I strive for action shots & it isn’t always easy to get a shot of their face with a helmet,if I get one I am happy but our grandson prefers the shots without the face.I strive for tact sharp images,we know who he is so we don’t always need a mug shot lol,that’s what our grandsons call them!

I think all of us on this particular section will agree we work to do just as you suggested you do: Strive for action. Irrespective of how hard it may be, there are certain conventions that help shape the feel of the game as the action peaks. Although there will be certain exceptions, the determination/grit/struggle shown in the faces of the players is all but necessary—especially for those of us who may not know the player. Seeing the face provides a window into the player’s emotion at the moment the image was captured.

Obviously if your only audience is immediate family, then of course you know who your grandson is. He’s blessed to have a grandmother who wants to record his playing days. I believe Jules’ suggestions were to simply help, not criticize the OP.

I would never intentionally hurt someones feelings. I was simply trying to have the op strive to make better shots and that's really all. Sorry if I hurt someones feelings.

No u did not hurt my feelings.I am sorry if that is the way it sounded.I was referring more to hockey & football.I guess I should have not said anything since this was about soccer.
