Peter this is awesome, I hope you do more of these in the future and please ask Steve to continue as well. His approach looking at photos for critiques is brutally honest and that helps allot IMO. I remember his critiques in Denver 2012 and wouldn't have it any other way, if you want to get better and be better then average have Steve critique your work. Thank you again Peter and I'm working to see you in Knoxville later this year... John S
Hello Peter. How much post processing is suggested beyond a crop? With the understanding that you are not going to get all stylized, do you bring up saturation, adjust luminescence, etc.; basic corrections? Sometimes it seems like once a picture is taken and cropped its considered all good (noise and everything) here's your final product and I'm off to the next event. In this video Steve comments a few times on the color of things. Just wondering if there is some balance to the amount of clean up work done after the fact. (Hope that all makes sense). Thank you, love your channel. I've learned a lot already and excited to learn more.
Excellent honest critiques , I totally agree with bad weather shots with school sports , I used to shoot week in week out , but with bad weather came High Iso most of the time , as most of my games didn't start until 3:30 on UK winters afternoon and then I lost the good light going by 4:30/5 ( School Rugby )
Suggestions: your videos are great BUT.....the intro is way to long, cut it in half. You videos are outstanding...I always learn from them and often watch them 2-3x.. as a sports photographer they are gold, keep them coming.
Interesting about what you can or cannot change. Would appreciate more information in that area. What about hydro wires and poles of different sorts beyond the play area, in particular, coming out of a players head?
On the last photo: I think if the photo really stood-up on its own without the rainbow, having the rainbow could have made it better. However, the rainbow doesn't save a boring photo.
They got to the top of top, they're used to having to be critical, it's part of the game, it's not meant as an offense, it's just reality. Only the best survive I suppose.
Great tips Peter, looking forward to the next video
It is rare to find so much useful information presented in such a concise manner. Excellent video!
I LOVE a good editor! We fall in love with everything we shoot and need someone to lay it out there. Thank you both for doing this!
Thank you Peter for another great installment.
I really enjoy these critiques. Thanks for doing them and keep them coming!

Thank you for doing these. I enjoy the honest feedback. I hope to submit my own one day.

Thank you Peter!
Thank you from Italy!

Great video as usual!
So, how do you send Peter pictures?
The ball is in the net on the stick.
I'm certain you would become a better photographer working for a boss like that, but man would there be some frustrating times!
#tough ... lol
You guys are nasty. Overly critical
