Photographer’s Note
“The ball” is the name of this photograph and, as you can see, trying to get possession can be very difficult and dangerous. Being philosophical for second, to life can be described as a struggle for the ball, it can be perilous. Sometimes you don’t know which way to turn.
This photo was taken an organized women’s rugby match in Mount Pearl. I like the intense expression on their faces. This shot was taken any action mode using a high shutter speed.
Some parents cannot watch their daughter’s play because the game is so violent. I am glad my daughter’s don’t play this game.
This photograph was level adjusted and saved for the web.

Hello Jim,
Bel instantané d'un match de rugby féminin...
Tout le monde est concentré sans oublier le photographe.
Bravo

The razor sharp on some of the faces is great.
WExcellent work and there are a couple overbright spots but they almost enhance the photo becuase it shows tthe weathr and enviroment in which theyr were playing.
#11 brings the eye in, great colors everywhere.

I think they, simply, have lost the ball!
The research operations look, quite, chaotic!
Well done!
Bernard
