My youngest son Thomas is a very twiggy 13-year old. This fact puts his potential as an american football hero to a bit of a test...

 

Here he is with some of his newly accquired gear

 

Thanks for looking !

Marie-Louise, excellent capture in every way:moment, framing, tonality and expression.

Marie-Louise - beautiful tones. Are you sure he's not still trying to hide the new haircut?!

Great shot Marie-Louise. I especially like the wonder and skepticism in the bottom right.

Marie-Louise -

 

I agree with Virgil.

[louloumum]

Virgil, Andy, Steve and Stuart,

 

Thank you very much for your time and kind words.

 

As always I very much appreciate it !

 

Andy, now you mention that haircut... one could never be sure about the ways of a 13-year old :-)

 

All the best

Marie- Louise,

Handsome boy! The bottom right subject completes the shot!

Marie-Louise,

 

I agree with Steve.

Very funy story and picture. It brought back a memory.

In my younger days i played icehockey in Holland.

I wanted to be a tough guy also.

Very nice Marie Louise.

 

I agree with the above and find the RH corner to be valuable, but I am particularly drawn to the helmet and face. You've positioned and sized it and selected the contrast perfectly.

 

Love the skin tones of the face too which I more often find in images taken with M lenses.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful personal moment and a great shot too, if it were my son I would have it in a small frame somewhere in the house.

[louloumum]

Thanks a lot Brett,

 

for taking the time to look and post the kind words.

 

Now I'm sure this will eventually end up somewhere about the house :-)

 

All the best

Marie-Louise,

 

Superb low angle capture.

 

Agreed! Also about the focus on the face and helmet with the movement of the arms.

Ivan and Amado,

 

Thanks a lot for looking and posting the kind words !

 

As always I do appreciate your feedback...

 

The boy in the corner is 2 years junior to Thomas and is of course an admirer of his - no matter what...

 

All the best
