Composition - Great composition, excelent moment, the focus is spot on (I know how hard sports can be) The crop is excelent.
Technical - Maybe a litle bit of contrast boost would have done this photo a whole lot of good. The skin tone seems to be a litle red aswell, maybe make it a litle bit more blue with the color balance tool.
Overall - Fits the theme ok, not spot on but it is good. I love the photo, while woting I gave this a 8 I think.
Please contact me if you have any comments on my critique.
The composition is a bit busy, and I don't really feel failure here. It looks like this is just an isolated moment in a long game. You did capture a terrific expression in a really nice stop-action shot, though.
Had the same idea, to go to a football match and take pictures of either someone scoring a goal (success) or someone in dire cirumstances like this. Shot is not bad but the moment isn“t really that captivating and interesting. Still worth a 6 from me though.
