I like the creativity in going below ground, and the lush greenery is nice, but there isn't anything else here that really pops to make this photo stand out from the crowd.

This is unique. Good for you. Makes the viewer think a little, which is fine overall. Hopefully the voters will slow down enough to figure it out. ;^) Only distraction for me is the few branches in the top left. Why not clone those out since it's advanced editing? Just a thought. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Good stop of the action, however I would have cropped this much tighter, all the trees make it hard to find the ball.

nice idea, but it needs work to really get its point across. the glove is too dark and the ball is far enough away that it takes more than a moment to 'get it'. unfortunately, if you don't hit viewers/voters right between the eyes, your score suffers...

The colors in this shot are nicely done, and you've capture the motion without any blur. However, there is some noticeable grain in the sky which is somewhat distracting to me. And while I like the texture that the clouds and trees lend to the photo, I feel it might have more of an impact if the subject was a bit stronger.
