Ball, face and action. Those are hard to come by. At least they are for me. I have a shot similar to yours but the ball is right in front of the players face. It is compressed on her arms but she looks like Jack in the Box inthe picture!

LOL

I have shot Baseball, Basketball, Football, and many other action activities and this is by far the most difficult time I have had getting the ball/face/action combo. I think finding the right location on the court to shoot from was the biggest challenge for me.

Shooting location is the key I think. I usually shoot from 3-4 different spots during one match. While one of the more difficult sports to shoot it can also be one of the most rewarding when you get "that shot". Just feels a little sweeter???

I had a friend ask me to come shoot the girl in 2,3,4 that morning I had never been in this gym and didn't know how free I would be to roam so I sat on the net one row up. there were several diving digs I missed because of my placement. If there is a next time I will know the gym better and where I can sit to get better shots.
