Looks good, I like the fact the subject is off center, it places him in the action a bit better. So is the receiver about to get squished?

Razvan,

 

To capture an image of something you don't always have to represent it exactly as seen to the eye. The gentleness and character of your dogs eyes shows clearly in this image despite it being two generations away from the negative.

 

You have done well moving this portrait from film to digital, keep working within your vision.

This is how I actually imagine how netties see the game. Thank you for taking the time

to critique my work.

Thank you for your time and attention,

JMJ ! What a great angle and contrast. Good choice doing it in B&W. I would not so anything different.

A little Artsy...A little different way of looking at hockey. Thank you for your attention !

The flag does drive me a bit nuts, but it was the best frame of the group. The image was taken the day the Cubs clinched the division and things were hopping. I just turned turned around and did a 360 degree shot of everything around me at the moment and she turned up.

 

Ken, Thank you for commenting .

Ken,

 

It looks a little under exposed and I would bring up the sharpness a scrunch. But you are working up the field to get the faces you wanted to.

 

Keep shooting and good hunting this weekend.

I have to fess up here, I'm in awe of what rodeo photographers manage to capture.

 

Great stop action, color good, crop OK. I would love to know what you shot it with and your settings if you are telling.

 

With drama like this to capture if it didn't involve going to hot dusty places you could almost convince me to give up hockey!

What you are doing is very difficult shooting in a cave from the stands. Keep shooting Kari often looks up after a shot is taken and you can get his face. Hockey like other sports is about faces and passion.

Thank you !

Thank you

Thank you for commenting on the image, yes it was the colors of the blossom that drew me to it.

You have many things right in this image, color, focus and exposure. However I can tell you as a hockey photographer it is a classic "butt shot". Now, not all butt shots end up in your trash folder, this one certainly does not rate that treatment and it is the focus and power in your son's legs that lift it up from the ordinary. Most sports shots feature faces, but the body also can be a source of emotion and this is a good example. But be careful 99.9% of shots from this angle end up as trash, or at least mine do.

 

Your son is lucky to have you on the sidelines to photograph him at this time in his life. Your family will cherish these images forever, keep shooting, these are the best of times!

I'm trying to branch out into portraits this is an effort from last summer. It may not

show his face but I think I caught him, can this be considered a portrait? Thank you.

Thank you, this is a totally new area for me to be working in. Your advice will be

greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Thank you for your time to look at my work.

You have done well. Good choice of subject.

 

What do I like, the colors just knock me out. What don't I like, too centered, but that is also a fault of mine too.

What would I do differently, move the subject over a bit so it is off center. Copy it and play with the cropping.

 

Just keep shooting and posting!

Thank you for taking the time to review my work.

Tell me what you think! Calder Cup Finals 08'

Hockey photography is tough, you have done well with the lighting and stop action. My biggest problem is with interest, hockey is a passionate game if you could zoom in and crop down to pairs the emotion on the Leaf's faces would show more.

 

Have to admit it the image makes me wonder if what happens next...
