Disclaimer: The following crits are personal opinions, not photographic dogmas. Please see them as suggestions, not claims of mastery nor a show of hauteur.;p

First Impression: Wow, girlie football. However, a 4 from me (sorry...-_-") as the colors are a bit washed out and the shot lacks punch.
Composition: 5. The action's nice, but the background's too distracting it takes a lot from the shot. Hey, at least the ball's there.
Subject: 6. Girlie soccer's cool, but I'm not too wild over it. You got the action, which MAKES the shot, so that's cool. Digressing, the chick in red looks a wee bit like a dude, IMO. Sorry...
Technical: 4. Focus is a bit off, coloure a bit washed out, exposure a bit over-, um, exposed, and, well, the whole thing's a bit flat -- which you, however, could improve with pp. Well, a lot of pp.
Improvement: Recompose, maybe from another lateral and/or higher angle. Also, a lot of pp: a wee bit of dodging and burning, levels maybe or curves, saturate, and sharpen.
Summary: I hope I didn't sound too harsh. It's a good shot... it only needs some refinement. I'm a number too short on screws in the head so please do not be offended.;p

First Impression: 6 or 7, for visual appeal. Also, I can imagine it appearing alongside a windsurf article.

Composition: 4 or 5, because there's too much space behind the sails and too little in front of and above them.
Subject: 6, 'cuz windsurfing rocks. Not a fan of half-naked men images so I'm fine with having them behind the sails(j/k). It would've been another issue had they been doing acrobatics and shit.;p
Technical: 6. I'd say it's a spot-on exposure, if not very very slightly underexposed. The vibrant colors add a lot to the visual appeal. I, however, find the water a tad too green, the sky a tad too flat, and the yellow in the sails a tad too saturated. But that's just me.;)
Improvement: Re-compose to the right and below, tweak the colors, and have explosions in the background(j/k).
Summary: You're the first on the list so you're my first critiquee. I'm a number too short on screws in the head so please do not be offended.;p

Rust

Had you shot this at sunrise- or sunset-time, bumped up the contrast, moved [or zoomed] in a bit closer, or cropped out the distracting white wood stuff and OOF foliage below, this would've gotten a ten from me.
Yours was such a kickass subject and would've been a kickass photo, IMO.

Rusted Frame

Comment:
Rusty frame... for a title as such, I would expect to SEE rust, not have to look for it.
I don't think this would sit well with the general populace of this site, being as it is a photograph of a photograph. Also, there's one too many "border-haters" in this site than what is healthy and, TTYTT, borders other than black or white are marked down faster than you could say pwet so I suggest you stick to black, white, or no borders.
This photo's okay, if not a bit too washed out. I, however, find it strangely familiar and, to some extent, touching. So I am giving this a 10.
