Thanks. Yes, most of the photos have cluttered backgrounds of spectators
and houses. It's exacerbated by him playing mostly on the far side of
the field putting him far from the camera and close to the (largely in
focus) distractions. I would have much preferred to shoot from the
other side of the field since I'd have been closer to the action and
there were far fewer background distractions on the side I was shooting
from. The only problem with that was that I'd have been shooting into
the morning sun. I chose the lesser of the two evils. :-)
