The lighting conditions mean that while you have some areas on the very edge of being blown out, much fo the photo is too under-exposed and dark. it appears that this photo was taken in the middle fo the day on harsh lighting conditions, and that hurts the overall image. This is even more obvious when you have this in Black and white.
Its a great idea, a shame you couldn't get this athlete to pose for you, without the others around, later on in better light. this would have removed the distracting elements (other hand, person standing on the left) and enabled you to include the rest of his right hand. therfore, your crop could have been driven by your choice of what works, and not by what you want to cut out.
The presentation is good, the title and phrase work well with the photo. |
