This would be better if we could see her eyes.

Her glasses seem to be in better focus than her face.

this is very cute. wish there was a bit more range to the BW tones... seems kind of flat.

Nice shot, I like how you burned the edges to help bring out the subject.

muckpond: yes! a boy making the play. totally natural.

GeneralE: I bet he doesn't even want to be there. Dad is making him do it. Unnatural.

scalvert: ball is natural. kid is unnatural.

muckpond: but his eye is on the ball at all times. everything he does is to catch the ball. It's natural.

scalvert: he could have caught the ball one-handed. he could have headed the ball first. he had to make a large number of decisions. not natural.

muckpond: headed the ball? that's soccer.

scalvert: most countries call it football.
