Manly beats Melbourne2

I like the ball top left and the goal post, do you think I should crop

tighter?

An excellent capture. However, 2 things spoil it: the banner on the right, too much DOF.

I think this is pretty good. From a rugby point of view, we see the head down and most important level. Having the upright in the shot is a big plus, it tells you where the kick is being taken. From a photographic point of view, yes DOF is an issue, but it's minor compared with the positives. Cheers. P
