The guy in the middle looks the most interesting here. Although these guys are all spread out, the shot reminds me of Henri Cartier-Bressons' famous photo of the refugees running helter skelter in the Kurukshetra refugee camp. In that shot HCB referred to it as them getting exercise to break the tedium. Obviously here, it's not the same context. Nevertheless the bodies scuryying around in different directions makes for an interesting scene. I would even suggest a closer crop with the fellow in white forming the left hand side of the image and the barechested fellow to the right.

Excellent capture! Definitly reminds me of a Henri Cartier Bresson image as well! I also agree that a cropping of the left would be good. Great work and thanks for the comment on the row team.AP

yes,i could have cropped it,but i like the lines on the beach and the

buildings in the back

There's a whole story in this picture, you could almost guess the score....

For me the technical imperfections are beside the point of a picture like this one.

 

Excellent!

nice shot, you scored 6/6

Very fascinating image. Dynamic and captures a lot of emotion and spirit. Excellent timing!

 

The cropaholic in me wants to slice off the left half of the image.

thx niranjan.a left crop has been suggested before but i like the boys waitiing in the back and the buildings as it gives the picture perspective.

Terrific composition and capture! I like the washed out background - goes for a rainy day and perfect ambience for some beach soccer! Just wish there were bigger puddles to capture some more reflections. And maybe you could leave out the tall building on the left. Your other beach photos are awesome, too!
