Interesting composition. Feels like your on the field with the players. You can almost feel the emotion of the players. Great expressions on them. The extra blurred ball gives a sense of flight to it. Depth of field is good and help bring the foreground out of the background.
Nice sporting shot, expressions are good. Don't get a particularly good impression of flight from it though. If we could see the feet of the guy heading the ball, that might emphasise that he's off the ground.
A perfect photo! I'll have to take your word for it about this being a "flying header" but the clarity of color and expression is absolutely wonderful. 10
Good shot. Great expressions. Yet. Would have liked to see more of their legs, with their feet off the ground like I imagine they are. Hopelessly new, but could you have taken it in portrait mode?
