 Local Lacrosse Game at a park I wandered into. I had some great attacking shots but the background had red and blue playground sets which were really annoying. This has a good action shot and nice trees as a background.

Desaturate the yellow a little as it was over blown

Colour and contrast are good, whites are blown. Nice shot for the family album (if the kids were yours of course...)

Good, solid sports action shot. I like the expression on the yellow players face.

I don't know whether it is a nice overhand pass or not, but I would like to have seen the whole face to get the full effect of the concentration.
