A dismal view like this can make a very moody shot! But these guys seem to be enjoying themselves despite the rain! Thanks for visiting my blog. Your comment is really appreciated :-)

@Anne: Thanks Anne. I like your Fraser Canyon shot.

Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain

good shot, they look enjoying very much the game. I like alsothe framing and the composition with the figures well distributed in the frame.

@Paco Díaz: Thanks Paco..I only had the 18-70mm lens so I ended up cropping the shot (I didn't want to get wet!).

I love the way you have got the ball in mid air and the figures look small with the big storm going on

There is a nice atmosphere in this picture.
I like the U.F.O ..oups .. sorry the ball in the air, it gives live to the action.

@Stéphane: Thanks for the comment. I went back and redid the photo by zooming in with Capture NX before cropping and that helped bring the players closer. Maybe I'll repost when I run out of shots (this daily thing is tough).

It's a great action shot, Charles but it could also be a UFO.
