Excellent shot but I find it looks a tad to oversharpened. Great choice in DOF and the colors are outstanding. I really like how you've managed to capture the players faces and expressions. Well done and keep up the good work in 2005. <8>
With the exception of the playground set in the background, this could easily be a capture of pro players just based on the movement and facial expressions (of course they'd have to grow a few feet too! :) Great capture.
oh, what a moment you have captured. you really should consider setting up some kind of service where you can make a couple bucks off of prints. i'm willing to bet no other parents on the sidelines are shooting anything near this, and they'd all be willing to pay for a good action shot. thanks for sharing this, and good luck in the challenge!
The deternination on little 24s face turns this from a good sports shot to a great one. Nice use of color, great composition, and really sharp stop action.
