Hello Wolfgang,

Lovely picture. I appreciate you not making any reference to last night's game;-)

If you don't mind, I'll add this to my world football theme.

Hi, my friend!
Photo from Cuba! Wow! I never been in Cuba. American Euro... I like your white and black photo.

Hello Wolfgang, BW excellent choice, good posting with Euro now playing. Good tone & very dynamic image made more noticeable by blurring. Maybe another star in the making.
Nice image.
Thanks
Santo

Die schwarz-weiß Konvertierung drückt die Stimmung diese Landes gut aus. Diese Jungs werden wohl nie die Chance haben mal bei einem internationalen Fußballturnier mitzuspielen.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hallo Wolfgang,
My trip to Cuba last year will always be with me. I was impressed on how the people lived and the way they manage to get around. Your daily life scene with guys playing on the streets with great movement inside makes the picture more alive than jsut a still shot and brings me also back when i was walking the streets there. The b&w treatment makes it even more interesting...perfect, i really like this.
Regards, Henk

A shot full of motion, the motion blur suddenly attracts my attention. Well done, you cropped it well.

Hallo Wolgang!
Straßenfußball war für mich immer das Größte,habe ich lieber als auf dem Rasen gespielt.
Gutes Foto mit schöner action.Auch ein gut gewählter Standort um die Diagonal zu erzielen.
Gruß,Leo

Hi Wolfgang,
What a dynamic daily life scene! Nice shot from so exotic and distant for us country ;-) good composition... Well done.
Best regards,
Andrzej

Bonsoir,
belle photo NB de ces gamins qui jouent au foot.
Bonne netteté de ceux qui ne bougent pas et beau flou de ceux qui se déplacent,sensation du mouvement.
Bien vu, bien pris cette scène sans doute cotidienne et pourtant si particulière sur votre photo.

Amitiés Thomas

Hello Wolfgang,

this fascinating scene from the street in Cuba is the good occasion to wish the best result for German team in Euro final in two days. Since I am fun of German football and of your work. Felicitaions, friendly your

Hello Wolfgang
Wonderful placement of the boys and selection of the shutter speed. The blur of the ball and on the boys gave the wonderful movement to the image. Excellent shot!
Have a nice day, Hisashi

Hello Wolfgang,

A beautiful vew of this scene of everyday life. A good timing and an imperssion of movement. Good use of B&W.
Regards,
Roger

Wow, it is all action in this photo. We can guess in which direction playing was going with the guy on the background about to kick the ball. The black t-shirt man, pretty much on focus, creates a central focus point and is essential for the compo. Well done.
Antonio

I like the dynamic on the picture, the choreographic position of the players, the blurred bodies in action, the animal gesture in the speed, and the ball which seems to be in levitation in the air, as much elusive as a ball lightning...
Greetings
Marine

Hallo Wolfgang,
das Kompliment mit dem grandiosen Foto geb ich zurück, das ist wirklich sehr gelungen, du hast die Action der Szene super eingefangen, man spürt die Bewegung, der schwarz/weiß Effekt tut sein übriges, um dem Bild ein tolles Gefühl zu geben, die Komposition ist klasse!

Beste Grüße
Mark

You have caught a wonderful swirling action here, Wolf.The light and the context are so very Cuban. I like the effect created with the crisp sharpness in places contrasted with good motion blur in others. It creates a dynamic feel. Regards kevin

Have a nice weekend,Danos

I love an action shot - and this is a superb one.
Great dynamic activity - with everyone engaged in the game.
B and W works well here, too.

Hi Wolgang,
I like how they seem to be spinning around, it's very dynamic.
The shutter speed is spot on!
Nicolas

Hi Wolfgang,

Nice how you managed to capture the movement here! Strong black and white as well. What is the exposure here? You still know?
Thanks for sharing!

Hello Wolfgang
I was writing the critique to this picture the other day, when my modem conked off. Like the scene here, with palpable action, the moving ball, the sprinting players. Street football is interesting & you've brought out the spirit well, especially in B&W. Well done!
Best Regards
Angshu

Incredible, they seem to dance more than playing football... One is barefoot, I see ; very dynamic, lovely shot !
Congratulations,
Cath.

Excellent street action picture. You captured the protagonists so well, moving around the ball, body movements, the gaze of the player in the back. Obviously, perfect coice of BW here.
cheers,
CT

Hi Wolfgang, wie konntest du uns dieses Foto über 3 Jahre vorenthalten. Das ist echt KLASSE. Bewegungen sind wunderbar eingefangen. Schöne Dynamik. Obwohl ich eigentlich eher auf Farbe stehe, finde ich hier schwarz weiss absolut passend. Dadurch reduzierst du dich auf das wesentliche. Das kommt zu meinen "favorits".
Schon jetzt ein schönes Wochenende.
Nino

PS: Habe für Oktober meine Flüge nach Bangkok und Bali gebucht.

Hello Wolfgang,
Soccer is Brazil :)
Wonderful composition B&W. Very nice contrast. The human element is very important as a scale and is very well positioned in the frame.
Very well done.
Regards.

Nice work, Wolfgang! The exposition is nice, giving nice motion to the players. Its a kind of match I´ve played a lot when I was young, on the empty streets, or wherever..

Hello Wolfgang,
a great shot of movement and action. Very clear and well composed. I like the panning style of the ball and the guy of the blurry hand movement.
Nice shot of people in action.

Foozi

Great job!! An awesome action shot! Very nice in b&w and excellent motion. TFS and have a great day!

hi wolgang
a lot of action in this one, your b&w is perfectly managed and handled, a great street shot.

Hi Wolfgang
What a superb composition...
Except from the perfect b/w you manage to cath and transmit the right feeling of energy and fun with your inspiration...
TFS,
George

Great use of B&W Wolfgang! Well captured street-shot, I really like the blurred motion effect.
cheers
Leon

A perfect frozen moment, Wolfgang, because you caught just the right body angles to make a really harmonious image. I know how difficult that can be--with four people there is always someone who is awkwardly posed or who looks as if they are not moving. Not here, though--it looks like a ballet in the street. Regards, Ken.

This is definitively a photo that shouldn't be missed...
A great action... A great shot...
The timing, the framing - couldn't possibly be better...

Big hallo from me, bud...

Hi Wolfgang,

Few weeks after EC, but still impressed:) Nice capture with very dynamic players, so cool that one player is without shoes, better control of ball?:)
