I don't know that I buy the Opposites in this photo. It looks like it could have benefitted from a faster shutter speed- everything looks a tad blurry. The background detracts from this image a bit. A tighter zoom and larger aperature might have helped blur out the background and direct focus towards the photo.
Sports shooting is one of the hardest things to do. This is a great start. First off, you should look at upping the shutter speed. 1/250 and higher should freeze the motion with litle blurring. The sign with the #8 is very distracting. When shooting sports, try to position yourself to eliminate things like that if possible. When not submitting to a challenge, clone that puppy out!. Also consider blurring out more of the figures in the background in post processing.
Sports is all about capturing the moment. Keep working at it!
Good subject matter, but if you can't get it in focus you missed the capture. In some fora you can get away with a certain softness, but here it seems to be a mania, and sport action dosen't lend itself to soft focus.
This is such a good action shot.. if only it were in focus! You've got the hard part down. (which is pointing the camera in the right direction, it's amazing how many people never seem to get that) Now you just need to get the technical details sorted out.
a technically bad photograph. not at all in focus. Please read your camera manual on how to focus and practice so that you can identify an unfocused pic (like this one) . Just a thought to help you improve.
I like it. It's just much too blurry. The people in the background are very distracting. A faster lens and better camera would really do a lot for this one.
