[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A University of Alabama-Birmingham defender makes a desperation diving tackle on a University of South Carolina ball carrier. This was my first attempt at shooting a night time sports event and I found it a little difficult trying find a balance between freezing the action and minimizing noise.

Hi Rob,
Great sport shot. DOF is prefect. The legs of the player are blurred enough to give the feeling of movement.
This is absolutely perfect ! I like it !
Congratulations !
