Which would you choose?

<p>I have to finish an album for my son's soccer team and have room for one more pic. Which of this series would you choose and would you crop it any differently?<br /><br /><br>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Which is your sons team? Red or Green?</p>

<p>Red</p>

<p>Considering #10 got destroyed after frame one, and because its the only one in which we can see his face, probably the first. I might crop out some of the "grass."</p>

<p>i'd go for the first one.<br />1You can see the red players face<br />2) the ball is still in play<br />3)he's not being accosted as in the 2nd photo<br />I would just turn down the bright sky in the background, maybe cop some of it out, as well as some of the grass<br />just my 2 cents shal</p>

<p>I also go with image #1 for and the reasons (1) and (2) outlined by Galen & John (see player's face & ball in play<br>

<br>

In regard to: <em><strong>"would you crop it any differently?" . . . </strong></em>Can't answer is that rthe full frame you have shown? . . . if there is more frame camera right (behind the Goal Keeper) I would consider horizontal format, giving more room for the ball to fly.<br>

<br>

I would darken the sky.<br>

<br>

FWIW: Images two and three (as a pair) have the potential for a comic flavour, at the awards night or such – I can envisage the Captions – your Club may or may not endorse such humour: Our’s does.<br>

<p>I vote for #2 for the smile factor.</p>

<p>#1</p>

<p>Shal, just curious... what camera did you shoot with?</p>

<p>It was the D3. I love this camers for sports. The low light performance is outstanding.<br>

you can see the rest in the gallery<br>

<p>In regard to: <strong><em>"would you crop it any differently?" . . . ??? . . . </em></strong>is that the full frame you have shown? . . .</p>

<p>Yes it is. The full frame.</p>

<p><strong><em>"would you crop it any differently"</em></strong></p>

<p>Yes, Square.</p>

<p>For maximum impact, and maximum reduction of the blown / overcast sky, which is negative space detracting much and adding nothing to the action, in the original frame.</p>
