Fantastic shot. Love the burst of color in the ball among the muted colors of the "flatness".

Great shot !!! If I may, I would like even better without the sun, though (less square also). The composition is great, and the attitude of the "taller" man is "different", gives it a great touch.

I dig it. It's too bad there's no way to get rid of that defauly outline... otherwise I like the framing.
Nice and peaceful, makes me want to drink a few beers at Le Dock tomorrow, what do you say?
raemarie (77 months ago | reply)
