Sean Defending in Central High vs. Uni Soccer Game

This was a tough game for Central High. The smaller University High played us a very good game on their small field and nearly beat us. The best aspect of the game for me was being high up in a bleacher, looking down on a beautiful field on a sunny day, which led to some great digital images. Typically, photography of youth and high school soccer is fraught with ugly backgrounds: chainlink fences, parking lots, and the ever present bright blue PortaPotty.


A good use of what we in cinema studies would call "offscreen space." What could that shadow represent? Note my son Sean is showing how to concentrate for a header, in spite of the big forward from Uni High bearing down on him.
