Last Friday pitted 2 nationally ranked teams and the top 2 teams in the DC Metro area - #1 Centreville (public school) vs #2 Gonzaga (private school) - televised on ESPNU. Great matchup but it was all Gonzaga in the end 31-14...

All shot with either D4 & 400 2.8 AFSII or D800 & 14-24 2.8...

Nice set Pat! I'm digging the LB shot #7. I think the vignette helps suck you in...
Hopefully I'll run into you soon.

This is just my personal preference, as is everything we all post here, but I think the vignetting is a bit heavy in certain photos combined with the filter you are using. I know you were probably taking razor sharp images with that gear but it seems a bit washed out with the post work especially in the action shots.

The last photo of your nephew is a great image where the filter and vignetting you are using works for me. Again these are just my thoughts and your artistic presentation of the photos is entirely up to you and your style.

I would have loved to see the first image in the last set as a tight crop on the player celebrating. That to me would make an amazing photo.

I always love your post processing! I think your night shots look better than the day shots you usually post. I like your shots because they are unlike anyone elses. Very cool.

Everything is done in LR. I use Nik Color Effects suite and then desaturate to taste with some other color adjustments, shadows and highlights sliders, some selective focus and some vignetting. It just varies series by series - I play around with the sliders a bit until I find the look I want and then sun across the selections...

Jim - completely appreciate your comments. I was trying to crop as many of these in 16x9 ratio for a slideshow I am putting together but I agree, there are some I would definitely crop tighter...
