Crop more! Way too much head room.

OK, I will re-crop it to just above player 5's head.

Get tight on the crop. I would look at to just above the face mask for number 5 and then on both sides. The expression on the player on the ground is very good and you want to get focus there so that it helps tell the story.

What I am learning from everyone is that the tighter the crop the better with sports photos. Thank you for the great suggestions.
