This is a good photo for the challenge, had the sun split the horizon would have scored higher...7

Comment by bassbone:
the use of light rays as your vanishing point is a nice concept - but the sky seems a little blotchy 5

Well spotted - an original and very apt take on the challenge. It is very difficult to get the exposure right when shooting directly in to the sun, but you have caught the rays and got the detail in the clouds which is the most important thing. With a little post-processing this could be improved - a slight levels adjustment to darken the clouds even more, and cloing out the spots in the sky caused by sensor dust.

The composition is fun, as are the colors. It would be good if something were in focus in the photo - either the guy catching or the background.

The photo nicely captures backyard sports - blur and all!

I give you credit for actually capturing the action of a sport, thank you. Faster shutter speed would obviously help to freeze the motion (though I know many cameras aren't capable). It looks like there was also a bit of camera shake, which doesn't help with the blur. Post-processing was a little overdone, perhaps on contrast, so the colors look a bit unnatural. And of course everyone on this site loves impossibly clean backgrounds, so if you could shoot this from an angle with less background clutter that would help.
