Here we have a perfectly timed action shot, well done Michael! Your telephoto lens has enabled you to zoom in close and fill the frame so the viewer is focused entirely on the subject. The focal length combined with a wide aperture has created a shallow depth of field, which isolates your subject from her surroundings. By capturing this angle you have got a simple green background that is free of distractions and an absolutely cracking facial expression. You've done extremely well to capture the ball within the frame too! Your exposure is bang on, despite dealing with difficult conditions, such as direct and bright sunlight, you've managed to capture detail in the highlights in the skin and white clothing. Overall a fantastic dramatic action shot!
