Picture looks a lite grainy or overly sharpened would have been a great shot with players bench or on court in background with a good use of DOF to blur them out.

Action very little. Color, dof and comp gr8. The grainy effect on the trousers a bit distracting.

I wish the rose was pulled down a little bit more so that all of "In loving memory of" was all the way visible. A little bit softer lighting would have been nice too to make the pages of the bible similar on the left and right side.

I like this one. If one would want to nitpick it doesn't really show the 'action' of basketball but I'm certainly not going to give you a lower vote because of that.
Anyway, the main fault with this picture is that the hand isn't completely in the frame. I wouldn't go as to say that this ruins the picture but it most certainly loses some impact because of it.
Other than that I like the framing, the background is nice and bright and out of focus and gives a nice contrast to the darker elements; the ball, the hand and the clothes.
I would probably try to bring out a little shadow detail in the pants, most likely by using shadow/highlight in Photoshop.

I like the saturation you did. Nice fun snapshot type photo and you made it more artsy by doing the colorizing. FUN!!
