Heya Gunsmoke and welcome to ThePhotoForum.

When you now see that it reads "Last edited by LaFoto" underneath your post, then this is because I went into your post to edit in spaces and numbers for each of your photos here.

Photos that "flow one into the other" are difficult to view, and if there are - say - more than 4 or 5 photos in a thread that are not numbered, then commenting on a particular photo of the series is difficult for the viewer. So as a tip for you and actually anyone: put spaces inbetween your links (two!) and number your photos once they are more than 5. Please.

Other than that it must be up to others more familiar with your subject at hand here to comment on your photos. I am not familiar with any of this shown here at all.

From someone who plays tournament ball and loves to shoot it, fantastic job.

I think a lot of your action shots could use a much tighter crop; 12, 13, 14, 16.

Break shots are hard, but you did a great job with five and six.

Number eight could benefit from a vertical or more off-center crop, just because of the position of the subject.

15 is a great shot.

and number 10 is by far my favorite. BIG :thumbsup: to you, sir.

Can I ask what type of camera and lens these were taken with?

number 15 is my favorite for sure. having 2 players shooting at each other in the picture is great.

hey thx you very much for the feedback!

This was my first time ever shooting a paintball event! (i play tho) im also very new to photography in general

the cam i was using was very bad! its a fujifilm e510 and i have no lense! so this is why i cannot get thoes tight shots from far away. im also using a 16 mb Xd card! if i had the cam on full rez id only be able to squease 6 pictures out of the card

i have a bunch more great pics but i just piced the ones i though looked the best

and yeh im just getting into photoprossing! i will crop and add focus in the future to images that need so

thx again

Seriously digging 18, 21, and 24. On some of them, the background is distracting, but there isn't a lot you could have done about that. The nice black net makes a great backdrop though.

On the breakout shots, leaving a LOT of room in front of the players in the frame, like you did, really creates an air of tension and excitement. Like they're just dying to go. Which I'm sure they are. 18 is a nearly perfect example of this. I would have framed the players lower in the frame; pointed the camera up a bit.
