Before Football Players Wore Armour

Where was this in Centered Composition? I like the composition, and scored this relatively highly. A little improvement on your lighting to bring out the metal qualities in the blades shown, and this would be my top pick for its originality.

I tried to do exactly this idea, but didn't have the cooperation of a perfect blue sky with lovely clouds. This is nice, my implementation was with more motion trail, but this works because you get clear motion on the net. -7

If you are a parent with kids that play football (soccer) you have got to love this shot. Excellent take on the challenge. Oranges could be just a touch more in focus. -8

Too small to judge.

Next Game?

I like everything about this except the distracting lights.reflections in the trees behind the net. Color choice and contrast are excellent, composition and DOF choices are good (a slight increase on DOF so that the net was just alittle more in focus might work as well, not sure.) Your choice of a ball that is somewhat experienced is also perfect for the shot.

Too small, and probably misses the challenge because those are clearly the players. But, so what? Great composition.

Picture could be a little sharper, but, the composition goes perfectly with the expectation set by your title. Absolutely Great title.

This is a hard photo to take. The clouds give everything a grey cast, and that hurts the picture a bit. Somehow, if you could get the colors to punch a little, the contrast to the threatening clouds would be great.

Good DOF, but the subject needs sharper focus.

Three Heads are Better than One

This needs more sharpness. And, the grain is a little rough (which might mean that it is over sharpened during post processing.) I would try improving the focus, and using a little more light to reduce the exposure time, thus reducing camera shake.
