Looks like a flash was used. For action shots with depth, you need more lighting than a flash. In your shot, the kicker's hands are darker than the goal posts, since the flash was not able to fill the frame in time.

great composition and framing, and good effort stopping the pen mid flight. The harsh flash really hurts this entry

Very interesting shot, hands being one of my favourite things. With better lighting it could have been a lot better, rather than just using the flash.

I really like the idea behind this shot, reminds me of grade school and junior high. Would have liked the picture better without the shadows from the "goal" in the foreground which could have been prevented or at least minimized with more light, and also if the people playing were more of age to be playing looking at the kickers hands he is probley a little old to be playing this on a regular basis. One question why do this shot in B+W?

This seems somewhat silly to me because at least one of the participants is a married man. But who am I to judge what games people can and can't play at what age. :-) I think it would have been a little more fun if kids were playing. It's an interesting set up though. I wish you could see a different angle of the "ball" but then you wouldn't have been able to get the great first person point of view. foreground hands were a little too cose to the flash and so washed out and all three shadows take away, in my opinion, from the finished image. Hard shot to get without a flash though, so other than a different flash location I don't know what to suggest.

Good focus, Lighting is interesting, even though the subject isn't to me anyway.
