I'm sorry, i like the effect but i think it made the shot look too artificial, and the girl's look didn't convince me too. I love the green and the idea though! Sorry if i was rude!
This shot looks posed. To me it seems as if whe is standing there pretending to throw the ball into the net. It does not ahve the feeling of Action, movement, excitment that Action photography should have. In general, Action photographers take a heap of photos, often in burst mode, and get a couple of good ones out of it. Digital photography therefore is perfect for this. I would have preferred you to have her throwing the ball into the net, and taking plenty of shots. Some jumping, motion blur on the racket maybe, a ball flying through the air. have her further back in the field and zoom in so that you don't get hit. Yes there will be a lot of crap int here, but also a lot of great images. I took around 100 photos for this challenge, and know others who took many more. Why not be on the sidelines for a game and get photos that way?
The colours don't seem right. The grass looks fake. The blue maybe also a little overdone. The angle of the shot seems wrong. From here, the shot might have worked better at eye level (the Goalies view). There are overexposed areas down her leg which distracts as well. A shallower depth of field, o use the advantage of Advanced editing also could have got rid of many distracting elements in the background, and possibly made this (if taken with some movement) look like it could be in a game, rather than being able to see those training in the background.
