As part of her work for Reuters' multimedia sports agency, Action Images, Canon Ambassador Molly Darlington covers English Premier League matches. "The composition of this action image, with the players crossing in the centre, is one of my favourites," says Molly.

Sport has been a part of Molly's life since her childhood in Cheshire, England, where she is still based. "I've been watching football since I was young, and growing up I often played football or cricket in the park with my twin brother – we've always been very sporty," she says. "Football's my main interest and when you love the sport you're photographing it adds to the enjoyment."
