Too washed out, loses the drama in the fog.

Oh boy, this is a good example of UNDEREXPOSED, would have been nice somewhat and if you focused on the boy in the air and blured the background, keep trying though, atleast you were able to freeze motion, some can't :)

would be a better image if it had contrast

Great motion capture! You might've wanted to tweak the contrast a bit in an editing program - I believe that would still fall under the rules of Basic Editing although I could be wrong.

Great action shot. A little too hazy.

Why is it so bright?

looks very wahed out and dull. Very cool action shot though.

a lens shade would have been of good use

Nice action shot. I'm afraid the lighting ends up looking washed out to me. I'm sure the blue team's coach had something to say about proper defense ;)

Good action shot but it looks so smoky.

not very clear, but I like your capture of the action

Great action photo! Excellent capture! :) A little hazy, but such is the liability of sunflare when going for back-lighting. "Got to break a lot of eggs to make an omelette", eh? :)

The haziness detracts from the overall image for me.

I'm sorry but this photo is way too pale.

The level is out.

Looks like there were some good opportunities here - Looks like there is a bit too much flare which makes the image look very flat and the composition is awkward. A tighter crop on the jumping guy would help add lots more impact.

Hmm.. It's really washed out. Maybe a lens hood would have helped if you didn't have one.
