Nice but I would have trimmed out the right side and make it a vertical picture. You didnt need to show the complete net and it would have added height to the scene. - 7
You should have turned the goal around and shot your subject front lit by the sun. It would have been more effective and you lose a lot with the blocked shadows in the trees and the washed out sky. Not voting.
Good thing he saved it, the net sure wouldn't!
I actually think the missing net is a big thing here, it's taking away some of the realism. Also, I think it would have been good to use a small aperture to blur some of the distracting background elements.
