Among your very, very best, Walter. All of the elements came together here for you.

@Stephen Phillips: You snap, you snap, and you snap during a game hoping for that perfect shot. Last Friday I took off the flash, upped the ISO to 3200, lowered the shutter speed to 1/500 and tried to use my new camera to its fullest. I love detail and sacrificed it by introducing noise at the high ISO. Thanks for the comments as it looks like at least one of those shots came out well.

Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa

Nice capture and pretty crisp for 3200 ISO. I follow our local public high school football (Jefferson City Jays), especially the Freshmen, since I have one.

@Bonj: Thanks Bonj. I got back into photography because of my boys playing football. Since then I have expanded to all their sports and even some others if asked. I really have fun with it. You can check them out at www.wellborn.exposuremanger.com
