Default Feel the rush!

Just two shots at this moment. Will upload more when I have got time to process the rest.

Hope you'll like it and kindly give me your advice.

Thanks a lot!

hey CM!! long time no meet (online)!!! =)

really like #1, but would suggest a tigher crop to something like this (portrait 3:2)... although, not sure if you have enough mp to retain sufficient resolution after such a crop.

except for the first - the stretch - all the shots are rather static - no feel of the energy, the power or the motion in the game - eg no mid air shots - all the players' feet are on the ground; oso too tight, does not help to convey motion, feels cramp.

mid air? feet on the ground? Motion blur? I think you are asking for some jumping smash shots? Of course I have them just that I find it rather boring cos they look almost the same unlike when the opponent was doing the smashing, their expression of concerntration is nicer.

Was using 1D2. Well % of keepers? >50%? but some are in sequence because shot in 8fps with AI servo mode.

Very nice
