Pelote basque, a photo from Aquitaine, West

Photographer's Note

I spent 1 hour playing pelote basque with my grand sons, but it was a game, not a sport practiced by these sportmen. I used the backlight to reveal the dancing shadows of the players

Salut Claude,
Dynamisme, contraste ... c'est bien cadré ce jeu de jambes avec ces ombres au sol, bon rendu en n&b, belle réalisation originale.

Hello Claude, How nice that you played pelote basque with your grandsons. An original composition with the dark shadows of the players. Great idea!

Kind regards MAlgo

Hello Claude,
You handled the low light and the strong shadows very nicely, but the composition owes very much to the tight crop at the top, so that we see just the legs or feet of your grandsons. The sharpness of the nearest boy's legs is amazing, if this indeed was taken during he game and you didn't order him to "freeze".
Regards,
Gert

Great sports picture, Claude. Perfect framing & contrasts. Bl/w was the way to go. Congratulations!

Hello Claude,
Great timing and framing in this shot. The shadows are strong, and I like the contrast between the darker part of the frame, and the bright light in the upper right corner. We see just enough of the players' legs and feet to tease us with the "real" people playing this game. :-)
