8 - I really like this shot but can't quite take it up to 9. Really like the intensity in her face and the concentration and focus. Good angle and capture of the stance/positioning. Criticism; somehow closer, enhancing that said 'intensity'. Sharper and bolder and 'richer' for me would make this better. Maybe, more 'blur' on the one in the background, not sure, as that does 'add' to this photograph as is. The 'frames' in the background add too. Maybe with the 'funeral home sponsor' brought into it more, woiuld make 'Emily' seem all the 'meaner' - (for a girl).
Gotta be tough being sponsored by a funeral home. Best sponsor I ever had was an ice cream parlor. Good photo. The crop could have been a little better. You cut off one person on the rump, and the other, well . . . we'll just leave it alone. I like the picture though. Nice job.
I think the crop is awkward. It's an "inbetweener" where either a closer crop of the shoulders, head and glove would have formed a nice triangle (a desirable graphic element), or a full length body shot would have accentuated the tension of the action.
