Colts vs the Chiefs. The Chiefs were undefeated and the Colts beat them to advance to the Championship!

Looking at he pictures, for some reason, all my shots look hazy. I have really poor vision, but I think I may try manual focus a bit. AutoFocus really does not seem to be cutting it.

You caught some good action. :thumb :thumb

But there looks to be a few things off here. First, it looks like you shot these in Adobe RGB color space. That is why they looks so flat and somewhat bland when viewed on a monitor.

Second, your speed looked to be fairly low, so there's a bit of motion blur in each shot. Some are not too bad though. A little motion blur can be good.

Third, these shots need some post processing TLC. Even in sRGB, you would need to do some post processing. Higher ISO shots lack "pop". So you have to add the cayenne yourself :wink

I like the action in your shots.
Steve is right and has posted a nice example of how you can make these better.

For most of what we do, displaying on the Internet or for most printing, sRGB is the prefered color space.
