PNagy, you made a fine action photo. But! It's not cropped tight enough. Many sports action photography that I see posted in UH,
all do the same thing.

Their sports action photos do not show what the photo has to say. They photograph too far away, use a short lens not long enough, show too much in there photo, and mostly shoot from a high standing position, kneeling is best and does not show looking down at the photo.

I took the liberty of showing my corrections on your fine example HS Football photo. I was a freelance SPORTS Photographer fifteen years. AP

Nice shot!! But with the exception of the old Los Angeles Rams style helmets, the kicking team has the ugliest uniforms I have EVER seen

AnthonyP: You re right; I should have cropped the imager. My client, who is a football coach, prefers to see as many of his players in the shot as possible, but I should have changed the presenttion on UHH.
