Comment by Imagineer:
This is a lovely shot - so clear. One thing I would do though is reduce the halos of colour. I often do the following (in PhotoShop) to eliminate this without converting to mono:
Convert image to Lab colour [under 'Mode']
Got to Channels and click on the 'a' channel - apply a guassian blur to almost obliterate the definition
Do the smae with channel 'b'
Apply a light Sharpen or Unshapr Mask to the 'Lighten' channel
Convert back to RGB

- voila!

Cheers

Hmmm - this seems more like the grass is growing, and the team went home for the summer... but it's an interesting composition!

The greens combined with the soccer ball has a very strange feel to it. I like this shot, but wish the ball had more focus rather than the grass.
