Terrific image and well deserving of the Blue. The theme was sports. Nowhere did the challenge description specify action. If this doesn't represent a sports theme, I have *NO* idea what does. Doesn't matter what anyone else's interpretation may be. Besides..... Obviously the voters were in agreement that this is a spectacular image that met the challenge. Congrats!

Originally posted by PaulFrocchi: hmmm.... thankyou for the love everyone. I have to agree with many of you that I WISH I had an 'action' shot to have submitted. I had rented the stage, and had reached out to a couple Dojo's in an effort to get a pair of Kendo warriors. At the last minute they fell thru and I posted a 'Casting Call' on my FB page for someone to help with with my Young Athletes project. Sequoia Magdalena hit me back and said he'd help. He's a Sophomore at ND High School in ShermanOaks CA. Playing wide out and Free Safety. A SWEET kid that had a hard time giving me a 'look'. Nothing like the kid that I see in his highlight reels who is a terror at FreeSafety. Thanks Sequoia!

Thanks for clarifying :-) - I now close to zero about American Football and had no idea who Sequoia Magdalena is, and thought you had entered the big league with some famous athlete :-). Whoever, whatever, I love this image. Really, really cool.
