Not bad at all – really capturing the action. I would however say that they seem very busy – and the focus of the action is not isolated enough – with the exception of 2 and possibly 5 (little too much player on the right). Whatever that dark thing on the top left of 4 is catches my eye more than the action for some reason. Not sure what lens you are using but can you open up aperature more?? Shooting wide open might help. Are these crops or were they shot that tight?

Take a look at Ken or Pauls photos here in the sports section. They always seem to nail the action. Not sure how they do it so well but its something to strive towards

Keep shooting

Practice, practice, practice. That’s how.

Peter, your images are certainly improving. At many games, it can be a bit hard to find an area without a background that distracts too much. A full crowd always looks better than 2-3 people standing in the background. But, there is nothing you can do about that.

You’re certainly getting more of that close gritty action. Keep up the great work.
