#1 shutter speed could have been a little higher to capture the puck better ... I almost missed it because of the blur. Having the player that took the shot in the image would have made it stronger.

#2 looks like a stick in the throat ... a little sooner would have been better to get the end of the stick to convey the action that he was shooting the puck.

#3 the left stick and boots

I should have added that the focus and exposure are good ... I did not want to come across as saying the images are bad.
Just wanted to point out areas of improvement ... and I do realize the difficulties of taking live action shots.

What would you suggest to get the shutter speed up in #1, and what about the stick and boots in #3?

I check my album for shot before #2 and this is it. Do you think this is better?

Faster than 1/640s
The person in the background is very distracting ... boots and legs.
There is nothing attached to the stick on the left ... so it becomes a distraction.

Ah, I like the angle/viewpoint of #2 ... your new shot does not have the players in the same positions.
