nice capture..lil faster shutter speed to freeze the ball would help.

a little different angle (if possible) so the player isn't sliding off the page would make this pic a great shot...well done

That girl looks out of their age group

nice shot..looks like a nice fall day...a faster shutter speed could of been used to freeze the ball?

That looks like fun

hmmm wondering what happen to my last comment... anyways...u don't neccasarily need a "fast" lens. If you shoot at say F8 and a shutter speed at say 1/125 (guessing, adjust iso to fit) you should get a good blurr effect, and enough DoF to get the whole player in focus if he switches plains on you or is coming toward you. If you shoot through the fence you won't be able to use a 50mm without getting the fence "lines" in the shot. then you just have to shoot at a higher s.s and a lower f stop like 2.8 if u have a fast lens to do so.
