I like the difference in the two facial expressions. One for defeat and one still trying. The composition works well, including the absence of the ball. I didn't expect to see Aussie Rules in this challenge. Good luck.
P.S. I think conversion to Black and White would give this a "timeless" feel. Just a thought. :)
Tough one. Do I look up and catch the ball or look down to break my fall? There always seems to be an element of risk in contact sports. The balance between dilema and determination can mean failure vs success. For the wisdom of landing on ones feet must sometimes take flight to risking the moment to chance fate. Clearly a story telling photo. Thanks.
