| First I voted this a 6. It has good emotion, good intensity as well. I love the anticipation on this. What I would change on this shot first is I'd change the exposure on his face, It's a bit dark and I would do what I could to lighten the face, even if it meant more blown highlights on the ball. The photos isn't really about the ball, its about the player that is where your exposure should be matched for. In tough conditions like this, I will expose for the faces in direct sunlight and then for those areas where they are shadowed to me I will either swap Fstop on the fly or in post pull the exposure up and even add a little shadows/highlights to bring some back if needed depending on where my highlights are already at with exposure. The last change is another processing part. It lacks some contrast and punch. I'd pull a small S curve adjustment on it and add a bit of saturation throughout the photo. |

| Good action, sharp, great concentration on his face, great colors and a non-distracting background. Very solid entry. |

| technically, this is a fine shot; aesthetically, it's not that interesting. these shots a good for parents, good for newspapers doing articles about individuals, but, they are no good for dpc challenges. this is something that could be captured by nearly anyone with a decent camera and lens; if you want to score higher, you've got to do something that can't be done by just anyone... |
