What ISO were you shooting? I can detect noise, which is weird since you have a 20D. Are those cropped? Maybe that's why they look strange to me. You know your galleries better than me - maybe try to find a less "action" shot that has a good sharp focus too. I get the impression you were trying to capture too much action and sacrificed on the side of softness.

Shoulda put HOCKEY in the title of this thread. You'd have Winger over here in a heartbeat.

She just made SS today.. been working at it for a while. Good luck!

I belive all but nunber 6, and 7 were shot at ISO 800 the rest ISO 1600 on the 20D.

Those are cropped.

I'd pick the last four (4-7) and the first. I know how hard it is to shoot hockey tourneys, the lighting is usually mixed/and/or poor...

just my 2 sense

Thanks now that I look at these I don't think any of them are worthy of what SS.com is looking for, but as everyone knows we are hardest on ourselves.
