Basket Shadows

Paul,

going to your portfolio here I like the third image better. It does what I was going to suggest. Which is step back or widen out the shot feet are very important in sports or dance photography. To best imply the motion you need to leave space for those feet to step into or land. In your third image you have that and perhaps in my opinion more dramatic shadows. When an image is cropped at the ankles or hands it tends to lead the viewers eye off the image where when you have the negative space it will hold the viewers attention better. enjoy pjc
