Running for Daylight

[kfigueira]

This was my first effort at photographing a rugby match. Not really knowing a lot about the sport, and not having done much sport photography, I was hoping for some thoughts from others on how I might improve my skill in this area.

Thanks for the help.

Kevin:

I like the shot overall. I like how you left room for the player to go into it... A tighter crop on the person carrying the ball would have made the shot a little better. The player at the bottom left corner is a little distracting to the ball carrier.

Just my thought!
