Great shots Russ. I love how the background is blurred just enough that you can't make out individual faces (1,2 and 4) but clear enough you get the feel of how many people there are in the stands.
Thanks, Frank. I'm not looking forward to the day when one of these guys does end up in my lap!

Hey, I haven't been hired by two magazines! I appreciate the compliment, and I agree that it helps to have bodies in the seats in the background.
Thanks, Bryan. My goal is to make the most of it. Great way to get to know a team, and interesting to see how different the opponents, strategies, etc. can be.
J: Thank you. I like that one as well, along with the heavy contact in #1.
Tim: Thanks for your feedback.
Brian: Haha! Yeah, I can tell! Honestly, there's so much contact and hacking on each and every possession that it's hard to see much rhyme or reason to what gets called and what doesn't. I'm sure the refs know what they're looking for, but I'm amazed at what these guys can get away with. Thanks for your comment.
Nice grab on the hold in #7.
) Seriously, though, excellent shots.
