On the ball

I got in trouble yesterday for showing the opposition in possession so this is Rachel taking the ball back up field after the opposition scored. I have quite a few of these shots (!) but it turns out that three of the girls in the opposing team have basketball scholarships lined up from US colleges so Rachel's team is feeling a bit better about the game now!

Love how you have drawn the attention to the player, nice crop and processing.

[Juliette Packham]

another great action shot and I'm liking the blur on the edit!

[Shanne]

nice action shot, nicely framed and processed - and I'm not surprised they're feeling bruised if that's the calibre of team they were up against

@sparkle It's proving to be a tough week photographically - I need a photo walk with an expert :0)

[peter/zipp]

ace action..and wow to your sports photography judith, 'though fer me, bit too much vignettey thing

[Pat Knowles]

The other team should be in a different league !!! They did well to play them if they were so good !! She looks an athletic girl & intent on her game !!

[Alison Tomlin]

Well she looks like she's about to score. Cool action shot.

[Michelle]

Awesome! another great shot. makes me want to cheer lol.

[Jane Pittenger]

Wonderful shot. You go gal, Rachel!

[Jen Hudson]

The framing with the shadow/blur gives even more emphasis to Rachel. Nice action shot, well done to her team.

@sleepdozer57 That's what she said, I said, 'It's art!'

[Judith Greenwood]

@happypat It was the regional final and they got there because all the other teams dropped out! A bit sad really as they could have had some more balanced games.

@judithg LOL -only if I can bring my wide angle or kit lens...I've given us momentarily on the 50...have to think too hard!

[Judith Greenwood]

@sparkle Ooh I'd say wide angle is essential (shame I haven't got one!)
