I love the subject :-) looks like a lot of fun. I wish that the ball was closer to the guy, I can't tell whether he just kicked it, or he's going to catch it or what. Also the fact that I can't see the main guys face really bothers me. I do like the guy on the left coming into the frame's face. I think the ball should have been closer to the subject, that would have helped making this a more interesting and better sports photo. Great job with focus though, and at least you had the ball in the photo :-)

I think the angle hurts this picture, since the action appears to be the two in blue reaching out to block the kick.

Lots of action and excellent, sharp focus on the two players in the left foreground. I also love the position of the ball and the motion blur on it. I'm not sure about the player bursting into the frame from the left. It does add action, but I think I'd prefer it not to be there. Without it, the composition would be perfectly balanced.

Hey love it, (since I am an Australian lol). Too bad about the team colors though. I think its great to see this sport represented here, esp from outside Australia. Good job.

Great timing! What really makes this picture is the player on the left going for no16 like a madman! - 8
