 I was about to give up on taking any photos for this challenge until today after class I saw the soccer team practicing. This is one of my favorites, but my favorite required too much cropping and the colors weren't as great to begin with. The exporting to JPEG is sooo hard with reds! Gah...

Editing: Crop, Saturation +18 (-18 Reds), Resize, Sharpen.

Great colors and decent exposure. Action isn't a really strong point. I think you lowered your score for some by saying it was a practice session. There's no way the viewer can tell - and he / she doesn't really need to know that.

I really like this image. It shouts of 'movement and action'. The shadows beneath the players feet are fascinatingly intricate, creating a nice 'base' to the photo (along with the ball). If this were mine I'd have cropped the goal post/nets away at the top, even though it would have meant the head of the player with the ball would have been tight to the frame - and hoped for the best. Best of luck with this.
