And just a tiny split second before the shot above was taken. #1553417

Two excellent sports action images Michelle! Nice work! #10904204

More like a production of "Footloose" from this angle - terrific action capture! #10904259

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. #10904321

Two outstanding sports action shots!! In slow motion most sports do look like a ballet.:) #10904394

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. #10904456

Great captures both! Full contact ballet! #10904575

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!
