Too bad the ball wasn't in the photo. I love the way you captured their expressions. :)

Captures the action element perfectly, need more focus on the hands to make this a great shot

Very intense. You get a bonus for the wow of the expressions on both of the faces.

I like the difference in the two facial expressions. One for defeat and one still trying. The composition works well, including the absence of the ball. I didn't expect to see Aussie Rules in this challenge. Good luck.
P.S. I think conversion to Black and White would give this a "timeless" feel. Just a thought. :)

Great expressions. I want to see just a little above where the frame cuts off.

Love the expressions captured. Focus is a bit soft IMO, but still an above average photo.

love the faces on these two men, well captured

Tough one. Do I look up and catch the ball or look down to break my fall? There always seems to be an element of risk in contact sports. The balance between dilema and determination can mean failure vs success. For the wisdom of landing on ones feet must sometimes take flight to risking the moment to chance fate. Clearly a story telling photo. Thanks.
