Nice positioning of the child in the camera great look of "heat is on" Black and white is tricky for me so I appreciate one that is well done. Yvonne

Thank you Jano and Jude. infact he did snap back immediately after this shot...unfortunately, some kid ran in front of me and i couldnt take more shots as i had to give him the way. -Abstract

Thank you Damon, Paul and aam.
Paul, its a game where two kids are tied like this on two ends of a rope on their back on opposite side of a pole (air filled thing) in the center. they are supposed to pick small balls from the bag (hanging under the circle in the background) and throw it in a basket on the ends. sort of tug-war and basket ball together.
The reason for b&w is...the sun was really really harsh so wanted to show that highlights, especially on his hair (completely blonde), to enhance the intensity of boy's expression. -Abstract

The expression on the face and the B&W makes it look very serious. The heat of competition.

Love the composition of this one Abs with the chap being off to the side, what on earth is he doing though? Don't really see why it has to be b+w.
