Rebound

On this one I like that it's pretty straight, it's relatively well light for the location, and the facial expression on everyone except 15.

I don't really like I cut off everyone's feet.

I see you took this with ISO at 1600. Remarkably clear for that setting. I see what you mean about cutting off the feet, sometimes it can't be helped. I do like the composition with the inclusion of the players in the background intently watching the shot. It's like having a subplot in a story.

I'd rather shoot at a lower ISO, but it's almost worthless.

You did well here and I am happy to see that you showed that ISO 1600 is not that bad. I realize different cameras will respond differently to higher ISO's but this is very clear. Good sharpness and stopping of the action.

Thank you. I've never understood how a higher ISO setting would make the photograph less clear unless the noise messes it up.

You have to remember that many of us "oldtimers" learned photography in the film days when you would "push" Tri-X black and white film to much higher speeds that its rated 400 speed. Special developers could help minimize the grain but it was there. Grain (noise) was an accepted fact of photographic life back then. You also had to contend with dust specks when you made enlargements. Less noise is better but if it means getting the shot, I'll have to go with the higher ISO. 8-)
