I do prefer #2 - looks like a foul about to happen. Good composition (despite the lad playing in sun galsses in the background) and colour. As someone who had the pleasure of watching Tommy Smith and Ron "Chopper" Harris, I am a great supporter of traditional values.

Too late now as you've done the pics but when photographing kids football get down as low as possible. I saw shots that one guy did by lying on his belly and using a long lens, try it, you'll be amazed by the reults.

Well I'll be... the kid in no. 2 and 3 could be the new Michael Jordan of football :D
It might seem to an uninvolved spectator that those kids take it kind of too seriously.

It's a pretty good set with moments well caught :)

Somebody needs to cut that grass !!

Nice shots BTW....

Hi all, Thanks for the input!

rh1944, That little guy was a right terrier l :), I have a load of good shots of him!

Tigreimages, Thanks for the comments. All these where taken from a low kneeling position believe it or not!, the pitches sloped so much :), But like you've said' i've been advised to lay down next time, this is ok on a normal game but, this was a tourny and I was shooting 20 teams (10 min matches), 4 pitches (all games running concurrent), I would have looked like an SAS soldier diving to the ground so often:lol:.

Slapo, thank's for the input. There is plenty of commitment that's for sure!

Steve, not only should they cut the grass but get a ruddy great roller in as well:), Thank's for the kind words.
Kind regards Graham.
