I take sports photos fairly often, and more often than I care to admit, I screw up something: focus off, white balance off, I zoom in too much or not enough, I press the shutter too late or too early, I take the photo from a less than ideal place, etc. But, with practice, my mistakes happen a bit less often and my good photos improve over time.

From what little I can tell from this one photo, there's no reason for you to give up on photographing sports. If you enjoy it, just practice a bit and get to know your gear. Then, you just might be pleasantly surprised at how much progress you make.

thanks!! but i'd rather photograph peoples emotion than sports (I'm not so into sports) the reason i took this picture... There was the memorial that's held on my street and I decided to try it out. but I'm not really into it. maybe later but now I stick to landscapes and other stuff
