As a former 2nd rowman, I have a soft spot for rugby shots (and its right on top of my head thanks to lots of tackling). I really like this shot for how the ball seems frozen but nothing else does. Actually seems like an ad for the ball manufacturer. Good luck.
A really good effort but I find the motion blur is just too much of a good thing. Don't get me wrong---I like some motion blur. I just feel that a greater area of sharp focus on the boy holding the football would have created a bit more visual impact, IMO. As it is, the onlyl sharp area of focus is on his wrist andpart of his sleeve. Even the ball and most of his hand suffer from some motion blur. As it is, a quick viewing leaves the impression that the blur is created by camera shake.
