Good lighting, nice and sharp, really like the crop. Would like to see the eyes lighter. Maybe a reflector and some ps work, over all nice job

Critique Club feedback -

Great use of bokeh. Per the challenge goal, it really enhances the subject by giving a context for the scene without providing detail which steals the attention away from the ref.

Composition is good, lighting is good. This really has the feel of a late afternoon game.

Pants on the ref are a bit overexposed, but I think all the important details in the rest of his outfit make up for it.

If possible you should try and submit at the full dimensions allowed by the challenge rules.

The black edge of the stands and the close crop makes the photo feel uncomfortably cramped, like he has to duck to fit in. :)
