Description I was just walking around as I noticed this kid practicing by himself; so I waited around to get a good shot of him, and it sort of gave me that feeling (hence the title) of reaching your goals, and just never giving up in life. The red ball here is a symbolic item to the risk you sometimes have to take in life, and just "throw" all you have in the air, and hope for something good in return
I think we all need to take our chances once in a while...

ps work: frame, title, smart blur, levels, coloring

Enjoy!

I'd cut out the "noise" of the image, to focus solely on the kid and ball - keeping the wall. At the moment he is too distant and although it does give a nice atmosphere of being alone in a big bad world, it reduces the impact. That's what I think anyway, you are more than welcome to disagree. It is yours after all!

This is so well done... his attitude, his behaviour... his concentration, and of course... his ambitions, perhaps his dreams... And you captured all this... Congratulations.

I love how the ball is red....not sure you could tell it's a ball otherwise anyways...course i don't know..i really like this...especially how the boy is so small compared to the rest of the picture...gets the point across very nicely...

Great capture. If you don't mind me saying, I think it might be a bit better without the red ball. It is a little distracting because it doesn't really seem to fit in with the picture. I still love it though!
