 I've been playing with off camera Speedlights out in the parks around my way and thought this challenge was a perfect excuse to get some football shots.

This is rka81, who is also my brother in law and assistent. He was going to play football and so we arrived 20 mins early for a quick shoot before hand.

In hindsight I'm not sure about the post coming out of hs head but he was leaning against it so there's not much I could do about that. I had others from different angles but didn't like them as much.

I hope this does ok but it could go either way due to interpretations of "Stock" shots.

We'll see, thanks for looking!

People, in general, have no concept of what a stock photo is. I thought I knew, then I started selling them, now I'm SURE I don't know. I've had the dumbest stuff sell for hundreds of dollars a shot.

This is great work - it IS a stock shot because it came out of a camera. :-)

The lighting compliments the sense of durability and health that soccer players have to have to compete. Crisp and sharp image and excellant lighting control. The gentle fade of the goal cage only enhances the image. Well done.

Looks technically well done... Has the gear for fitness... The drawback for me is that it's static. But still a good image

The lighting feels quite harsh, I think this would have turned out beetter with natural lighting during the day.
