No offense but this choice in where you put the DOF is baffling me, this shot would have been soooo much better if the focus were on the guy who´s face is turned up into the camera (the guy with the paint in the face in the #44 shirt) but other than that pretty good and fitting for the challenge.
I have been shooting the high school band and some football pics tthis fall. I do not
think I have anything this nice. I think the bandana really ties the colors together. I know how difficult it was to get a good sharp pic. Karen
Aww, this could have been a splendid shot if number 44 was in sharper focus so that we can see that joy more sharply detailed on his face as the touchdown is scored. I daresay that it also would have strengthed the composition if you had taken this at an angle that was facing these two players who are clasping hands as a "high five" that their team scored. I would have loved to have seen the expression not only on number 44's face but also on that of the player wearing the blue kerchief.
Nice capture of celebration. It'd have been nice to have one of the faces in focus looking more into the frame as the handshake isn't a very strong focal point but that probably wasn't possible. Regardless, nice composition and use of color.
