Would appreciate feedback about his photo. Shot by a very novice

photographer who seeks positive and critical feedback.

As a sports photo I don't think much of it, but as a portrait it's quite good. The background would be noisy for a posed portrait, but you did the right thing by using a shallow DOF to de-emphasize all that background stuff in what I assume is a candid shot. Good framing, focus, and expression.
