Ruining my shot . . .





Why does the goalie have to hang out by the goal?

well that all depends on your POV...if it is on the kicker, then you're RIGHT ON - great shot as is! But if the goalie was your focus, seems you should be shooting her from the front with the kicker's back to you. If it's both you want, I would be positioned more on the sideline instead of the backline.

I was focusing on the shooter, she is super fast and I could not move over fast enough to get the goalie and shooter in the same frame. I have a frame with the full goalie, but no ball.

Well then, the pole actually serves to neutralize the importance of the goalie and places the emphasis solely on the kicker. Some may say the pole is a distraction, but if it's seen in the context to augment the focus on the intended subject, then it works since it makes the goalie anonymous and irrelevant.

Mike,

IMO it's better to take up a different position on the back line as your normal practice, just outside the 18-yard box. Personally, I'm about 5-6 feet outside of that line. Goal posts can still get in the way but at this angle they are less likely to be in the way of a direct shot.

I don't mind the pole either--it puts the image in context.

Unfortunately, poles, refs, umps, other parents, kids, etc, always get in the way of an important shot. It is frustrating for pros and amateurs alike.

if you feel strongly about the kicker being the only subject, clone/crop out the goalie. I like it as is though.I might even crop tighter on the kicker and get rid of some of the foreground.

I like it too. That ball likely has a hell of a curve on it and the goalie will only be in that spot for a micro second.
It's a dynamic that you have captured well. I also agree that a little tighter crop might look good.
