Photographer’s Note

I can almost hear the crowd, at a game, celebrating a play...

To enjoy soccer you only need a ball, a piece of ground, and enthusiasm!

You do not even need fancy sport shoes,
Who knows, maybe one of these two youngsters will play in a world cup...

K.
Pd.: Soccer is the most popular sports here in Py.
Kids dream being a famous soccer player.
It is nice to me to see kids playing. They seem to transmit their energy and enthusiasm.

I really love the shapes of the boys as they seem to be having such concentrated fun. I think the blowing of tone on the boy's shirt is perhaps a little too obvious and you could afford to bring the contrast back a little (or selectively increase the contrast for the rest of the pic) - but really nice Cesar !

Hi Cesar, lovely action pic of these boys, you rendered their pleasure very well, and their pose is good, real football players.
I think there's something funny, did you oversharpen it a bit? I see whit lines on the outlines, which might be because of oversharpening.

Well cught action, so well timed. Maybe a bit dark and hard on my screen or with my eyes.

Soccer, or football as we say in euro-English is the most popular sport here too. I think it is only North America left to convince.

Comments: I don't like "Football" but nowadays is a television mass way of transmit comunication and so not important things!

Critiques: by my comments this doesn't mean that I do my critique about the way you show something related with my initialy comments.

Your choice: Possible the best - "Colors" to "B&W.

Good Duo portrait and perspective in a two young boys daily sportiv life.

Final: Good work and result in terms of photo not "Foot".

Well done and my smiley :)))))

I love this picture. Great job on choosing black and white. Amazing how you can freeze this frame just right with the amount of sharpness.

You could easily claim that this shot was taken 50 years ao and the no. 10 is Pele. Excellent shot, Kike, very dynamic and full of life, B/w works great here, as well as the tight rframe. Great job.

Very pleasant "petit pont" for the player. I like you BW very much, sharp, and compliments too for the geat attitude you catch here.

Yitzhak wrote what I meant to write... about Pele...
It is a very good b/w and I like the 'colour' of the ball which appears to be older than footballs manufactured today.
Great moment you documented and right into the action!

Hi Kike. Beautiful scene of the youngsters going at the soccer duel, very good dynamic rendered by their poses. Also a good crop, and a nice choice with the b&w. An engaging shot, i like it.

Nice . Good intereaction between the kids. The BW allows us to focus on them more than the colors. Good decision.

philip_coggan (11) 2005-02-13 9:31

An excellent pic, full of life and movement. Have you decided to go over to b+w?

One thing - there's a halo showing in places, which is a result of (slight) over-sharpening.
