Thankyou for your comments, Jono and Cynops!
I would like that it was a 50-200, but it's a 55-200... from Sigma :o) endika

Endika, this is an awesome shot, one of my favourites of the bunch. The 50-200 sure was a way of getting distant, low level shots like this. Excellent !

Thankyou for your comment, Shirley.
This is taken in a basket ball match in my neighborhood. While the sports dresses were quite monochrome (white in one of the teams and black in the another one), each player had her own different and full coloured shoes, and the effect over the concrete ground was beautiful. The vivid colors that you need are simply due to the summer-like sunny day, so be patient, the sunny weather will come back ;o) endika

Glad you left this up, it is one of my favorites! I haven't commented because you always have such great shots (to me) that I have run out of words. I had thought of something like this with some skiers down in the park but thought the colors just were too dull. The colors in your shot are just what it needed!
