So I have a lot to ask, I would really want some comments and critiques on my photos. I want to work on cropping and toning of images. I don't know if it is just my monitor but I want to get the best possible images.

Thanks for looking,

I love #5. The reflection in his visor of the field is awesome.

Yep, and I think #5 would also be a good candidate for a vertical/portrait crop... get even tighter... #23 would still be in the frame, but you don't need #90 in the bg.

Very nice work Kelvin great action....

I'd crop #5 vertically with the ball carrier making up the right half of the photo.

looks nice, love 5 i agree with the vertical crop comment but make sure you keep the tacklers

Nice set of pictures.
I also like the reflection of #5 but with a vertical crop

thanks everyone. I will try to update the last crop to show you why I didn't particularly like it that much. I feel as if the subject has no where to move? I don't usually square crop either. What would you suggest?

Kelvin

nice pics! You shoot for GT?

2,4,5

i might crop out a bit more blank space from 2 and 4 though

nothing wrong with a square crop

Depends on the use. More often than not, I prefer not to use a square crop. More importantly, I think, is that the crop just seems forced. There is a difference between cropping/shooting tight and just forcing it. This feels forced.

Here's my quick recrop suggestion...

canonet - yeah, currently shooting for the weekly newspaper, the Technique

skibum5 - thanks for the suggestions.

clarence3 - looks pretty compelling, I guess I didn't know if I should just keep the heads of the opposing team or the body as well.

Go GT! Love your game shots - pls keep posting.

Like your angle on this set , close to the ground, it makes things look better.
You also got great catches. The reflection is a huge bonus .

Nice shots Kelvin
