The splash looks "off" to me. i.e., why is there no water on the right hand side? That point aside, nice natural color, good movement & composition.

Thought the focus is very random in this shot, it has an element that I find draws me in. Excellent choice of angle. Good luck!

Yes, getting rid of the bottles makes a big difference.

This edited version without all of the distracting bottles is much better than the first one. As far as composition, I think you did a great job. Maybe could have included a little more of #5, and it looks like there is a leg creeping in on the left side of the bench also.

Lighting is fantastic. Nothing too harsh in either the shadows or highlights.

Maybe a little more done with DOF. Since the obvious attention is being drawn to the players on the bench, maybe a little more lens blur applied to the players in the field could be effective also.

I think this one is better. The bottles being bright in color was distracting me from the action and overall photograph. Good work.
BTW: Looks like Lotto numbers on the back of the jerseys :) I may have to go to the store and play 2-3-4-11-21-6.
