A little more tweaking was needed. The shutter speed should have been either faster if you wanted to have a motion blur effect, slow it down a bit more and follow his movement for at least 25/1"(sec). For a stronger and softer blur (usually good for portraits mainly), you could've settled for a wide aperture, 100 ISO, and a faster shutter speed. Also, the angle the photo was taken doesn't give the enhanced illusion of height. Btw, if you're gonna do a lot more outdoor shoots, I suggest getting a circular polarizer for the lens - cheap ones will probably run around $20-$50 for a decent piece. That will greatly benefit enhancing the colors, reducing haze, and placing more focus on the focal point.
Just my 2 cents. =p
Was hoping you'd comment on it, I will post pictures of "better" shots, after this picture I started to try out the "double" sports mode on the camera (lol?) increasing the iso to 1250 the pictures did get better, and then at around 7:45pm I started taking pictures with the flash and most of them suck to be honest but some of them looked pretty darn cool with the flash focus on the target and everything else is blurred out!
I will be updating the thread once I upload more pictures and I hope you can comment more about it
