I see where you're coming from with the city in the background, but I'm not keen on the overall feel of the image. It's hard to make out the foreground and because the skyline is fairly detailed the image seems quite cluttered. Good effort to go for what you did, but I think it needs a little refinement.

Fantastic expression - made me laugh out loud. :-) I'm not sure I'd have gone for b&w. As you did, it's looking ok, but the image seems fairly flat to me. I'd have tried to increase contrast/levels to bump it up a bit. Excellent capture too - you caught the action nicely.

Excellent angle and composition. At that distance you're not going to get a tight shot, so you did well to work with what you had and come out with a nice shot. One thing - it's very dark. Using auto-levels or contrast should bump up the colours nicely producing a more vibrant shot. Good effort.

Nice DOF here - I like the graduation on the grass at the bottom. Looks a tad wide, I think. I'd have cropped a lot off the left and a little off the right, assuming your original image was large enough. You've got some over-exposure on the white players, which you want to watch out for on bright days outdoors. I always under-expose a little to make sure I don't blow out whites (which is reeally easy). Overall interesting shot with a pleasant background. I think you'd get a lot more of a 'sheen' if the shot was tighter.

Just thinking actually I may even have cropped out the whiteplayer on the right and cropped very tight on the orange/black player (9?). That would have made it a much tigher shot, and also got rid of the most obvious over-exposure.

The Final Lap

I hope this doesn't get marked down for not being a team sport, because it definitely is. Composition is a little wide for me. I think I'd have cropped either tight on the first car or in the backwards 'c' but with a LOT less around the edge. All in all, good effort.

Nice try with the nice tight composition. Also nice expression. The image seems a little soft, possibly because you used a DOF a little too shallow. I think I'd have tried auto-levels or contrast to bring out the colours a little more. All in all, great work.

Nice capture. Depending on the quality of your original, I think I've have cropped much tighter - just leaning in players 8, 70 and 99. Good effort.

Chasing the ball

Nice crop, although I'd have cropped out a little on the RHS? A lot of sports shooting is about choosing your position. You've made a good effort here, but you would have had a really excellent shot had you been in front of the players not behind them.

Nice contrast and composition. The image looks a little flat though. Think I'd have tried to use auto-levels or auto-contrast I think to bump up the colours.

Nice use of negative space here. Very different shot. I think I'd have tried a square composition, which would have made the players larger in the frame. Otherwise, nice work.
