You stopped the action, both the ball and his feet are airborn. Excellent timing and posture of the players movement. Your brother looks very lean and in shape.

I can certainly tell he knows how to handle the ball. Very nice image.

Good action shot. I shoot the local football games here and I noticed a problem in your photo that I have been having but can't seem to get rid of. The shadow that the flash creates behind the subject. I believe there is not way to get rid of this with the fast action that is taking place (at least not without some fancy Photoshop work).

@Michael Keith: It's not nearly as bad if you shoot witha couple of off camera flashes. I would normally do this, but I was going back and forth between the two different gym's being used, so moving a bunch of flashes would have been a pain.
