Taken on a slate grey afternoon, taken unsupported and at a little bit of distance, tight crop. Small blurring, however I quite like the motion freeze and crowd blur. B&W worked better than colour.
Comments? Suggestions?
As a small background to this shot - the footballer doing this trick is Jeremy Lynch who after being in Dubai went on to the semi-finals of the TV show "Britain's Got Talent" with his freestyling skills. (Youtube clip)

Great shot! The position you caught the freestyler(?)in really gives a feel of what is going on. The small, subtle bluring with a sharp ball is perfect to my eye. Would it be possible to see the shot with the head present - I am curious to see if the freestylers expression adds anything to your shot? A
This was my thought too, to see the head shot version. However, there is something that works about the headless shot is that it focusses attention on the action, the body position and the attention of the crowd. A great capture.

I am not that concerned with the head, but would actually prefer to see the other foot. Perhaps that changes to dynamic too much since right now, you have the eye focused where it should be. Good shot.

I agree - might be good to see the foot too.

I want to see the foot too.
