Great stolen shot. I love the contrast in expressions between father and son, and just the whole gestalt of the upper deck cheap seats.

Score 8 /10 (from the Score Me! group) would have loved it with a 10 if the focusing had blurred the spectators in the background

Lomodachi says:

I would have used a shallow depth of field and focused on the father and son. The background takes away from it.

The idea is nice. The background is a bit distracting. Very nce shot where we can feel the emotion.
