It's a nice enough picture but I find it difficult to find the connection between it and the challenge details "What do you believe in?". Sorry.

I'll have what their having...Nice big red bold background. It says a lot for the dark wine.

Interesting the way these two almost look like a flower. I hope you were a comfortable distance away from them. Very good double take.

while this statement is true, this picture doesn't really say much about religion or faith

Very graphic and artsy. A tad bit over-saturated though, but the red sure is pretty. Just my opinion of course! I like what your doing.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Good action shot. The players frozen in mid-air give a strong feeling of motion that nicely captures the excitement of the game. I really love the strong diagonal line that starts at 41's right foot, goes up the wrinkles of his shirt and through his left arm, then through the stripe on 15's shirt and up to the ball. You couldn't have gotten that better if you had been able to pose them!

I'm ambivalent about the selective desaturation here. Certainly having the ball in color is effective; it's the focal point here and that draws even more attention to it. And the color in 15's stripe helps it's role in the composition I described above. But the color in 41's shirt draws undue attention to itself and detracts from the composition slightly. However, I think having one player's uniform in color and not the other would look really strange. So this photo isn't really ideal for selective desaturation, but you've probably made the best choice here.

A major weakness in the composition is that the ball crowds the edge of the frame. Since it's the focal point, it needs "room to breathe". The photo would also be much better if the ball was in focus.

Interesting but there is too much detail lost.
