 This is one of our well-known Aussie footballers //www.google.com.au/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=hts&oq=&hl=en-GB&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGHP_en-GBAU471AU471&q=johnathan+thurstonJohnathon Thurston. This is of course the game of Rugby League.

The Qld Rugby League did a goodwill tour of some outback Qld towns in June.

He was continually surrounded by fans, an I managed to shoot this by standing on a seat on the sidewalk, shooting over the roof of a car, and praying for a little more height.

Very slightly OOF I think but quite good regardless, the title works well, very effective being able to see the crowd in his sunglasses. Good exposure and composition too.

The title helps to catch the frenzy in his glasses. You sense he's fulfilling his obligation but not entirely thrilled about it.

what a character... wish his face was a bit sharper. I understand you wanted to focus on the reflections, but still...
