The message This is a creative idea, well expressed by the photo. The flare is well placed and is even shaped similar to a football. But once the novelty wears off, there isn't a lot to hold one's interest.
Creative choices The point of view and position of the sun in relation to the goalpost are great. Exposing to make everything a silhouette was an obvious choice, but a good one. The elements are easily recognized and work well together. The vertical format and dimensions of the picture seem just right. Capturing the sun's rays adds a nice touch.
Technical aspects Focus and color rendition are perfect. The exposure is great for the silhouette treatment. Technically very well done.
Really intersting shot. I'm wondering if it would have been even better if it was shot with a little bit more to the right or the left. However, overall very effective. I hope you do well.
