Canadian Comments:
This is more of a journalistic record shot to me. The 3rd boy, upper right, is cropped off & the crowd on the sidelines are neither in the frame, nor out. The action of the two main boys is very good and the photographer has worked to enhance our centre of attention, but increased selective focus could have worked a bit better, I feel, to do this and tidy up the other details.
Nice "try".
Scottish Comments:
Good timing and positioning of the boy in maroon, tight composition between the two I think works well. The author has taken the strength out of the background, taking away possible distractions, putting more emphasis on the boy, for me though it has been done a little too much — it all appears very flat, particularly the other boy.
