Fantastic, amazing capture, Cindy. I am particulary impressed because I have not suceeded in taking this kind of shot. I am sure there is a steep learning curve to take this type of action shot. #415132

Melissa, Thank you for your kind words. This was totally a fluke. My best friend's son at practice. I ended up doing a similar photo for each of the seniors on the team - although this was definitely my favorite. #2574540

This is excellent Cindy! The b/w works so well here!

Did you pan the motion blur, or add it via a photoshop program? #2574552

This was done in photoshop. After cropping and enlarging, the subject wasn't sharp, so I posterized in PS then added motion blur. #2575286
