A great action shot. I love his expression. I think the picture would be better if we could see their legs. Also, the head of the second player is cut off. But again the expression is priceless!

If you took this photo to sell it to the guy in the red, it's a fine shot. Otherwise it is cropped too tight. It is great color and lighting, nice and clear too.

Without having seen the original it is hard to say if you cropped to much. The legs might have added more impact to the photo as well as not clipping the head of the player in green. I'm sure the player in red would like to have a copy of the photo.
