Hi Judson,
Sorry to be responding to this so late!

Overall, this is well done and I really like the sense of movement/vitality you've captured. One area needing perhaps a little more attention is the near knee and shorts leg... the knee and top of shin have some very strongly contrasting shapes there that detract from the overall form/unity of the knee and leg. Similarly, some of the shapes along the shadowed side of the shorts leg from that knee back read just a bit too bright to me? Also, the very dark shadow under the near arm has a hard edge, that could benefit from some softening. . .

I think you've done quite a nice job on other areas of the shirt, and the hands, arms and head are very successful. Taken as a whole, it's a really nice painting -- well done!
