Great shot, love his expression, and the look that he has just conquered the world. Nicely composed also. Good work.

Ouch, that hurts.

Compositionally, this shot works. The two guys fill the frame and it is balanced, nicely.

Technically, I like the net there. It gives the sense of actually watching the game live. Of course, I can see how it could be distracting, but I'm not sure they would let you on the other side of it to shoot. :) The low aperture number seems to have made the focus just a teeny tiny bit off. Not enough for it to feel out of focus, but just enough for it to not feel exactly focused. Some of the "edge" that I'm seeing though, could be from compression to fit into the size for dpc.

Great active capture. I think that helped your shot stand out among several others.

Good work, and if I need to clarify or explain myself, please feel free to contact me.

Ahhh, this shot appeals to a Tiger fan from waaaay back! I like the texture on this shot, I assume shot thru the netting ... it works, IMO.

Guess the pattern is down to a safety net, slightly distracting as it is I'm afraid :/ May almost be better if it was more visible, still an interesting and unusual action shot though.

good capture.

comp good, lighting good, emotional value excellent, texture excellent, color excellent, movement ok, lines ok, dof excellent, not completely crisp which is a requirement to a good sport image, whites my be blown a bit but not disturbingly, over all an average image.

I wish the peak action of the collision had been the main focus instead of the results of it. It also appears that it was shot through a net giving the photo a grid over it. I'm not sure if you could have gotten closer to the net and shot wide open at 2.8 if possible to blur the effect so its not so visible.
