The kick!

Overall, this is not a great photo. Nothing about it is really in focus. I was a split second too late and the ball is already out of the frame.

What I like about it: I was fast enough to catch him at the peak of his kick - that man is flexible! This was a particular accomplishment since I was wearing mittens at the time and couldn't actually see when the ball was snapped back to the guy who holds it for the kicker. I also like the way it's framed - a bit of field all the way around gives it context. And I like how very blurry the opposition team members are, since it helps indicate how fast they were approaching.
