"Scrum"

    That's my son, David, on the left. He played prop for our local rugby team, and here he's staring down the opposing prop in a scrum. This match was played in Alameda, California.

      Come on David - you look like a formidable opponent. Pity hes not playing for Ireland in the 6 Nations on Saturday - in Twickenham, we have to beat the English!!!
      Terrific picture Roy - love the way you highlight your subject matter.

      Great crop and treatment, brings out that moment of tension before "engage!" The stares, the arms poised. My younger son Dan also plays prop, but doesn't quite have David's legs!

      You see Roy...............I knew David's legs were going to be special!!

      I love the crop and choice of selective coloring! The tight crop really brings a sense of intense feeling! Great job :)
