Cool as Ice

Telford Tigers forward Brandon Whistle scores with his penalty shot against Swindon Wildcats netminder Renny Marr to give Tigers the victory in a very competitive and hard fought double header cup match. Telford Went into the home leg trailing 3 goals, but managed to tie the game 10-10 on aggregate and went on to win on penalties.

If you're looking for critique... composition, cropping, timing not great

Puck in the net, scorer , net minder and ref in view. Scorer skating away and 3rd shot skater less than 3ft from me.
Shot was 60mph + and all 3 frames in 5 seconds. Anything else ?!

Better if a split second earlier on the first shot.

Second shot too much dead space on the left, and not straight

Third shot doesn't really show anything of interest. If you wanted a portrait of the scorer then don't crop off his hand and stick. Too much dead space on the right, if you want room to breathe, make it on the left.

The score might have been an exciting/emotional/surprising moment, but you have to separate yourself from the emotion of the event and your own circumstances. The images themselves need work.
