Shot this at a hurling match while back.
Comments welcome.
Thanks, Maurice.

Nicely done.

Very nice action shot. Too bad neither of the subjects' eyes were wide open. Consider cropping significantly on the right side, as the information in that area of the image isn't helpful to the viewer. I can imagine equally successful arguments to eliminate the person on the left edge of the frame or to leave him as is. The argument to leave him in the image would be more persuasive for me if you have a composition that includes all rather than part of him.

+1 to Mike's suggestion on the crop. I also wonder about both the saturation and midpoint setting on the exposure. The grass and skin tones look a bit off to me and the scene looks rather bright, given the cloud cover).

Mike, thanks for your comments. I would like to say your wrong but your not. Advice much appreciated.

Great separation on this action shot and as already covered cropping and simple PP will enhance the image even more.

That's well caught Maurice. Action isn't that easy when it comes to achieving a satisfying comp. Have to go with the PP suggested by M 'N M though.
