Great shot John (even if he is using his hands ). It is kinda funny to watch them at that age with those big helmets, and I guess they do kinda look like bobble heads. It's a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon though. (Really nice bike, by the way).

My new ride is a honey, thank you.

Sports is a great way to spend time with our kids and grandkids. If we can keep 'em active, they'll have less opportunity to drift in wayward directions.

I couldn't agree more. Plus, it is a great place to vent. In this game, my son was not getting much help from his defense and he started to let it show.

What a great capture! His facial expression is priceless!

Keepers can get pretty 'interesting' in their expressions and in their comments to their defense.

Pre-game warm ups are usually a good time to grab shots of the keepers.

Oh wow! What a fantastic shot John!!! Look at that, the is totally balancing on his toes in this shot! The clarity is amazing!! Great job!

Went to a flag football game last weekend, it was great watching the kids running around not really knowing what to do..

Interesting processing. Looks almost HDR. I really like the composition.

Sorry, didn't realize that. Let's try this.

clbowie, those look pretty darn good!

When your moving subject is close to the background, the background will be just as in focus as the subject. That's why I like your second shot better.

Wide open aperture for diminished depth of field really makes your subject stand out. The shutter speed was just fast enough to stop his head and torso, while letting the feet show movement blur. Really well done.

I'm jealous! :mrgreen:
