It looks like a ballet to me!

This was shot in the split second just after the kick.

And just a tiny split second before the shot above was taken.

  More like a production of "Footloose" from this angle - terrific action capture!

  Many football players take ballet lessons just to be able to catch that ball and keep both feet in the field of play. Fun to see these youngsters play, isn't it.

  Two outstanding sports action shots!! In slow motion most sports do look like a ballet.:)

  I like both. I know after the kick happens it's taboo to hit the kicker, but I don't know how any of them stop their rush in order to avoid it.

  Both are very cool pics, Michelle! Adidas would likely use either as their shoe emblems really stand out on the kicker. (At least to me they do).

I like Davids comment...I'd never thought of it that way but it's true. :) In slow motions most sports really do look so graceful.

Great job, as always!
