C&C - D1 Rugby Nationals [PIC HEAVY]

[tevo]

Looking for some general feedback on my Rugby photos, as I have only shot it a handful of times. I obviously don't expect C&C on each one, just any general critiques / advice / feedback. Thanks for looking!

Really nice shots....

15 & 18 are my faves
a little warmer and less bright would be more to my taste but great set in any case, IMO.

I kind of like ten. The guys go one set of toes on the ground he is still reaching for the ball BEHIND HIM and looking square back at it toward the camera and he is about to face plant. I see some blue on his upper leg and in the stripes im not sure if that is a touch over saturation or maybe just how it is.

Is that the only one?

It was one of my favorites as well. I did not touch saturation on any of these, only sharpness / crop / highlights occasionally.

no. I like them all. when I see stuff like this I look for them real "moments" a sports photographer I imagine is trying to capture (im not one).
11 shows some grit. you have a few good moments captured in here. I just like travers comment on 15 and 18 (I also wondered if they were a little bright but im not saying I don't like it). 18 is good.

6 and 10 stand out the most to me. 11 stands out in a different way but the bloodsport thing seems kind of cliché.

Great expressions on the faces and excellent action going on in all the shots. Each has decent action, so all pretty darn good for rugby shots. Hey, the All Blacks are playing the Eagles in November, in Chicago. That would be worth seeing, not too sure yet how many of the Eagles will be released from their European clubs though. If you get a chance, go for it, I would love to go. Last time was 30 years ago in the US.

All the best and nice close in action.

Danny.

I would be interested in the injury percentages as compared to American football! Yikes!
