Taken in a spring trip with the church. This pictures was not taken with this challenge in mind so if you dont think it fits, heck with it :)
I worked on all three with same approach. Put them together and here they are.

First off - you easily met the challenge. I kind of like the odd framing of them, how they arent all the same or rectangular for that matter. Good way to maximaze your spacing. I found it hard to try and get a proper lineup of my images. Your choice to overlap is a good solution to that issue.
The focus being on the ball is good. The main model between your three images and the distinct color of it stands out well.
Some of the distractions in the image for me are these - the blur is a bit too much. I realize that you are shooting action shots here, but having a sharp focus onthe ball in each image could have made them more powerful. The blues also seem a bit oversaturated. And I think that the lighting on the right hand image needed to be bumped up a bit to be closer to the other two.
This isnt a horrible picture but at the same time it doesnt have the punch that would allow it a higher score. Not alot of high votes but really not alot of the lower votes either. Hope some of this helps.
The framing seems accidental and distracts me; I'd prefer to see it as one solid vertical line. But I like the different placement of the ball in each shot.
