The beautiful game

my 2nd place image, I love the way you have captured the pure emotion on this young lads face, it is hard losing on penalties but hats off the his opposite number consoling him afterwards.

for me that is true sportsmanship from a young kid and it will put them both in good stead in the future.

a great capture, well done.

for me this sums up grassroots football, true love of the game and nothing more, players, coaches setting up the pitch to play the game and then putting it all away afterwards.

nice capture of the commitment needed just to play a match on a sunday morning

I have chosen this as 1 of my top 10 pictures as I just simply love it ...

when I first seen it I had to do a double take when I seen the streaker and policeman on the pitch as well haha

great fun picture I have to say, well done ..

for me this has taken 1st place, I love everything about it, the colour, the capture, the location...

great work and nicely captured with the starburst sun peering through the tree & the flooded field or pitch, and obviously the overhead kick timed perfectly.
