    Keep your eyes on the ball

    Got this shot at a hurling match recently.
    Comments very welcome.
    Thanks, Maurice.

    Good action shot but there is quite a bit of unused out of focus space on the left so I would consider a very slight crop from the left side and top. Only a little though, they need a bit of space to run towards.

    Nice shot , Maurice. Though you maybe consider cloning the pole (plus the cable) that appears to be coming out of the rear player's head.

    You nailed the focus, super sharp. If mine I would crop like this.

    Why not clone the second pole?
    Nice shot.

    Nice capture Maurice. Prefer the cleaned up cropped version ad I would also lose the second pole (unless you are showing it to people familiar with what's there ).

    John, it was shot at my local pitch, but as I said to Jean I was a bit lazy.
    Thanks, Maurice.
