I love capturing the action or freezing a moment in time.
The naked eye sees the action in a very different way due to the speed of it all.
If I can capture a wild and unusual shot of action, its been a good day!

Excellent action shot, you done well to freeze this moment. Also nicely composed which can quite easily get forgotten about when following the action.

Thanks Barry...you are right about composing while trying to freeze the action. I generally follow the ball..wherever it is, the centre of action is and with that usually comes the best composition.

Thanks Lorraine. Actually these boys are so tough, they just spring right back up and continue playing.
I got at least three very similar shots of this fellow throughout the game. Apparently he likes flying through the air!
