Sports shooting is one of the hardest things to do. This is a great start. First off, you should look at upping the shutter speed. 1/250 and higher should freeze the motion with litle blurring. The sign with the #8 is very distracting. When shooting sports, try to position yourself to eliminate things like that if possible. When not submitting to a challenge, clone that puppy out!. Also consider blurring out more of the figures in the background in post processing.

Sports is all about capturing the moment. Keep working at it!

Pity its not in focus or that your shutter speed was too low to freeze the movement.

Better focus would have improved this shot.

Good subject matter, but if you can't get it in focus you missed the capture. In some fora you can get away with a certain softness, but here it seems to be a mania, and sport action dosen't lend itself to soft focus.

This is such a good action shot.. if only it were in focus! You've got the hard part down. (which is pointing the camera in the right direction, it's amazing how many people never seem to get that) Now you just need to get the technical details sorted out.

It was good timing to get this. Unfortunately the poor quality of the photo and the blurriness hurts your score. Keep trying though :)

I am not sure what the opposite is here? Not that it matters because the picture is very very blurry. Exposure looks pretty good though.
