Trying to shake off the rust again. Most of my sports shooting comes during HS football season. Feel free to C&C on any and all aspects of the image making process. It feels like my vision has become stale and needs a kick in the pants.
I like #1 & #2, they have good action and are incredibly sharp. I like the processing on #3 and think it looks good. #4 lacks any emotion that might make is interesting.
Wow - where you are shooting must have great lights! 3200 ISO! 1/1,000! This past Friday I had to shoot 1/800 and 12,800 ISO on my 1D4 with a 300 / 2.8. It was still dark in the end zone . . . Nice clean shots - Anytime you can get good clean faces and decent action you are doing well for night HS football in my experience.

Bill, thank you. I agree with you about the lack of emotion in #4. This is the first year for this coach (talking without a hat) and I'm learning quickly that he speaks softly. It remains to be seen if he carries a big stick. This was the post game talk with the team and the picture requires explanation to understand what is going on (which is a sign of a weak image, IMHO). Thanks for your time.

Thanks acoll. This is probably the best lit field I will shoot on this year. This coming Thursday will be on a field that will rival yours for lack of light.
First one I would almost like a little more of the guy tackling the runner. Great timing on the first two. Its also pretty cool to see how folks edit the sliders. Thanks for sharing.
Looking good to me! I agree with the previous posts about the great light you had to shoot in. I was pushing my Mark IV and 400 2.8 to the limit at 8000 to 12,8000 ISO just to maintain 500th sec. s/s this weekend.
