Couldn't find a rugby match today, however, this goalie looked a little miserable covered in mud on this horribly windy afternoon.
Converted to BW with channel mixer layer, played around with a levels adjustment layer and a curves layer, couple of passes of sharpening and resized and saved for web.
I really like it, however, not convinced it is very DPC friendly.

like the B&W but feel the fellow gets lost in the frame with all the bright white items in the background -- a tighter crop (on the right by the far goal post and left to eliminate the far goal posts)and and some darkening to tone down the far goal post on right. Of course this is only my humble opinion ;)
The distracting elements in the background (especially the flag) are unfortunate, but not killers. The composition is exactly centered, and I'm not sure that works. It's a nicely toned shot though. 5
