Nice job Kel :)......love the shot. I think you should have done better. Not sure why anyone would give you anything below a 4, but that's why we are all here. To learn from others.
8 - Good, fairly clean, simple action shot. Criticism; for me this would be a better picture with just the two 'players'. The one in the background takes a lot away from this shot. Good capture of the 'feel' though. Sharper, different crop, better focus.
This is a beautiful shot, which includes nice stop-action photography and enough momentum to keep the eye moving. Wonderful tonal range, and filled with textures. The grace and beauty of baseketball seems to be getting the higher scores from me in this challenge, although my favorite sport is baseball, and those images are not so good for the most part. I love this shot, and hope it does very well for you! <9>
