It's all due to your tilted horizon. haha, just kidding (but it is slightly tilted). You know, I like this shot, although I would have called it "Sidelined" instead of "Sidelines". That, to me, draws more attention to the subject and his contrast with the players in motion. The composition is nicely balanced with red on both the right and left. The boxy white thing in the back is unfortunate, but what can you do about that? Having an actual soccer ball in the shot would have been a nice touch as well. I would have certainly given this a 6 and maybe a 7 if I was in a good mood.

The lighting is rather dull.

I think the title definitely makes you look at this shot in a different way, which is great - helps us to see what the photographer saw.

It's a shame the ball is out of shot.

Good work. I like the stillness of the man in the foreground.

Good idea with this one, looks like he wants to get in there himself.

This works well with the stationary subject and the moving players. Enough blur to show motion, but not so much you lose the entire player forms. Only complaint I have (it's minor) is the position you selected to take this from. The background left is distracting. A few steps to your left maybe? Just a thought. Good luck in the challenge.

The title and the pic go very, very well together. I had a similar idea, but ended up using another shot. Yours turned out much better, anyway!

I like the gradation between static to full speed ahead that is going on here. Nice colours too.
