Now this is some extreme action. Congrats on capturing this very neat scene.
The things I notice about this are things that have already been mentioned, but something that I don't think was mentioned is that the ball seems odd. It might be cause it's a different kind of soccer, but it seems like a different kind of ball. Shiny and no lines.
The background seems a tad dark, but I think that is ok here since the subjects are light and they stand out on the dark background. The only issue I see with the background is the garbage bin, but it's not like you could have just walked over and moved it anyway.
The whites do seem a tad too white in comparison to the rest of the photo.
Focus is also slightly a bit too soft. I wish this were more 'stopped' kind of like frozen in time, but you don't get this shot every day, I'm sure. I think I'd like to see the faces with more detail.
I like the framing, and I also like the dust coming from the ground. Really creates the feeling that something serious is happening there.
Love the scene in general. great capture of the 2 guys battling it out in mid air.
Very nice. ~Heather~

what great stop motion! sharpness could definitely have been better, though, and a few adjustments to the levels would also have helped (6)

Excellent action and composition! Love the possitions of the the players and the ball, love the dust clouds and a lovely green background, It would be perfect if only cropped a little more and esp if sharper clearer image like 'tackle' and 'ruck'. Whites and the ball are a little hot. Otherwise Cool! - 8
