Default EMU Football Vs. Buffalo

I finally get a shot where I feel like I nailed it and I get it home and I find out enough of a person got in my way to make it not so good.

From Michigan Exposures


The Good Stuff
Model Canon EOS 50D
ISO 400
Exposure 1/800 sec
Aperture 6.3
Focal Length 500mm

Other than the gray at the side of the picture, do you guys think this is a pretty good composition? Or should I have pulled it out a little more to get the defender?

I think you left enough of the defender in there.

the burn tool will get rid of most of the grey on the right

Mikoyan,

Good shot. I'm sure you can get rid of the stuff on the camera right side of the screen. If you get another chance, leave yourself more room in the frame while you are shooting to have more crop options.

Always ok for DPS users to critique and edit my photos for instructional purposes.

Looks like I'll be doing this next year. I just hope the team is as good...
