Thank you for looking.

Great action shots. #2 stellar with both faces and expressions. You might want to try a tighter crop of the last one on the two players and see if you like it as an alternative.

Tad over saturated to my eye on my iPad, but not sure if it would still be so on the big monitor.

Very night timing and captures.

Love these, great shots. Yes they are a little over saturated, Jules is always reminding me that mine are over cooked and he is right. Keep posting. Thanks

Really good shots - love the sharpness, stop-action images. Good depth of field.
As others have shared, I too feel they are slightly over saturated for my tastes.
There's something special about youth sports, before they get jaded and think about themselves vs the team. You have captured the pure joy of competition. Good Job!!
