Good capture. Too bad the slide is in the way.
Keep trying...

The slide (?) in the foreground of this image overwhelms the subject imo. Maybe taking this from a higher angle and having only a small part of the slide would have worked better for me. 5

I am not sure why you have that OOF forgound, but it seems to dominate the photo.

The slide (?) or whatever it is is extremely distracting.

I'm not sure the natural framing is working for me with this shot. I like the photo, but would like it much better if basketball wasn't what was going on in the background. I think because its hidden too much, it becomes distracting.

The interference of the objects between would normally be distracting, but in this case it adds to the "grassroots" feel of the photo. This is a very well thought out and set-up composition. Well done!
