It's a good action shot. I would crop it much tighter, maybe switch to portrait to eliminate the spectators and empty stands. It also looks a bit dark on my screen, but that could just be my screen. It's a very good start. Soccer has a lot of action and can be difficult to capture.

I agree with the crop and it looks a bit underexposed here as well

Shows up just fine on my screen! I hate photos too cropped though. I'm use to shooting skateboarding so I never crop tight.

I agree with the others. It could use a little bit of cropping, and it's slightly underexposed on both of my monitors.

What works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. As for the underexposure, you have a majority who say it's underexposed. I would venture to say your monitor isn't calibrated.

^^^Agreed. If you monitor is not calibrated it's probably too bright causing images to look underexposed while looking just right on yours.

and to be fair, it's not underexposed by much, maybe half a stop on the top end, perhaps less, but it's noticeable
