Although you marked my comment as helpful, it really wasn't. I apologise - it was late at night when I voted and my internet connection was acting up, so I just wasn't in the mood for typing out decent comments...

So here goes: I really like this picture. The subject is in sharp focus, and neatly separated from the blurred background - so good DOF.
I also like the way the background forms bands of colours.
The brightly coloured subject over those bands of colour really sticks out well.
There is also a great sense of movement in the shot, and the ball suspended in mid-air creates a great sense of anticipation.

The only thing I'd criticise in the context of the challenge was that it doesn't really scream the concept "10" out to me. Sure, he has a 10 on his jersey, but there's not much emphasis on that. It isn't central to the image.

Still, great photo.
However, I re-iterate my question... Who is he? That's a Brazil kit, but that ain't no Brazilian...
