Smugone, Let me be the first to say welcome to Dgrin and thanks for your post. I'm sorry you got jumped on so quickly with your first post. I know that can be disheartening. If you post here, you will have to be thick skinned, because people will tell you what they think regardless of if its nice or not. Personally, I try to remember to not to critique people's images unless they ask for it. One thing I would suggest to you is to number your pictures so if people want to comment on a particular image, they can just say the number. Other than that, glad to have you here.
I like the rain shots, and the keeper shots too. Agree with MT about tighter cropping, as it will leave less distracting clutter. Also, it may not have been possible to do this, but try to get a clean background for the shots. A number of your shots would be much better if the background was either clean, or blurred out more.
I'm a huge fan of the saturation slider being used. So excellent job with the rich colors, but I totally agree about the vignetting. You don't need it. I think a lot of your images pop well enough on there own. :B

Agreed. Especially on every image.

Very distracting, and ease up on the PP. Too blown out.
This game resemble me like football-soccer but with a stick. Right?
Personally, I try to shoot as tight as possible and crop tighter. If the composition is pleasing, vignetting won't be needed.
