Why do you want to show me the back side of this athlete? I can care less to see the back. I want to see emotion. After all, sports is about emotion.
There is this guideline to sports photography. Advertisements that are in focus, like in this image, detract from the athlete, and the action going on. A shallower dof is needed in other words.
Also in this guideline, it mentions fence lines, walls, and nets that cut people in half. It looks like your athlete is being decapitated.
Comp could be tighter, excellent color, excellent capture, great texture, great light from what I can see, emotional value poor, dof poor, overall a fair attempt.
You've got a good capture of a fun sport here. I really like the colors and I especially like how the shadows are not harsh at all. I do think this shot would have done better if it were focused in more on just the closer player, either through a longer lens or more limited DOF.
