That second one is great.

Shoot lower and make sure your horizons are level (first one) would be my only critique.

Yep. I always either get on my knees or sit (sometimes not allowed for safety reasons - its a lot harder to move when the play comes at you.)

I've seen Darren Carroll (SI Photographer extrodinaire) actually lay down and use a right angle view finder to shoot from the ground, although he had an assistant to make sure he wasn't killed.

Lower is better, and you will see it in your pics.

Thanks. I will remember that next game. I can see the safety issue too. I had to scramble several times as the play got strung out of bounds right at me. Glad I have spent some time on the sidelines of football games before...
