Action Shots

This is a great example of an action shot because it gets the players face and is straight on the action. Instead of getting a sideline picture of the side of the player when he scores, the photographer stood behind the end zone. 

Many action shots like this would get a full body picture, but this picture is really helped by the emotions on the player's faces. If the photographer or editor had gone with a full body shot, the faces would not be as prominent.
