I had a very good entry for the "Team sport without players" challenge, but I liked the expression on this photo so much that I wanted to share it.
Under 16 local school rugby players. It took a couple of opponents to stop him -see

You're cropping worked out very well. Nice rule of thirds and good exposure. Now the main character, is just great! Excellent facial expression! The chasers in the background, really add to the story too. Love the farthest player, I can just imagine him screaming out loud. Great capture!

This is -not- an extraordinary picture technically. But it has personality. And that's exactly why it gets a 9 from me. Well done!
