Greetings from teh critique club. Let me start by saying you met the challenge. I feel the colors are a bit too saturated on this shot. And way too much depth of field. I noticed you shot @ F16 you need to shoot wide open in your case with that lens F4 so you can try and isolate your subject from the background there is nothing in the background that I need to see that adds to the photo. Also waiting a bit to get closer to the peak action, what we see here is just the beginning of the action. OVerall pretty good challenge entry. Good luck in future challenges.
Great sport. My son's playing on his h.s. club, catching on fast in Omaha. Nice vivid color, composition emphasizes the aggressiveness of the midi, I like that attackman in the shot. Clear view of ball. Good luck.
