Default Kicking the Ball Around

Alright...my first "official" sports shot. My sister had a soccer game today, so here's one of the shots i got of her. I think i like it. I mean for my first time. I'm pleased . But i want to know what YOU all think so critique away.




Is it focused well? I can't decide?
Would you crop it differently?
How's the color? Does it need to be adjusted?
Thanks for your help!

I think you have done pretty well with this one , the action is well captured and clear , although I'm not sure if it gets just a little soft around the players faces, could be , but its hard to tell , and here you were telling me you hadnt taken any good shots ha ha . It has all the markings of a reasonable effort and seeing as you are happy with it thats what really counts , that said I'm impressed too . Well done .

Oh my it looks too freezing to be outside. That's a good action shot. Keep working at it.

Looks just a little soft. but acceptable. Also use a tigher crop on both the left hand and right hand side. Otherwise, nice capture. Soccer is the hardest sport for me photograph.
