    Nice job! I like the second version better. In fact, I was going to reply that the greenish tint didn't sit well with me...but you must've read my mind! The only nit I can think of is the font of the number in the right hand corner (why did you delete the "DT"?). In my humble opinion I think varsity or some kind of stencil would look more "footbally."

    Keep up the good work!

    I liked the green at first, but the second is much better facial detail. If you could remove the extra arm in the lower pic, your have it maid....

    I like the second one much better. Is there any problem with you using the Minnesota Vikings NFL logo? I'm sure you've checked it out but just wanted to mention it. I didn't see it on the boys' uniform but maybe I missed it. Other than that, I really think it's nice. Best of luck!

    very, very, very nice -- I think items like this will help you stand out from other photos (I know I've done well selling custom posters)... and a lot of times you don't need a sports illustrated quality shot to pile up the orders ... just good, solid, sharp photos of kids and a sharp graphic design around it ...

    well done...

    Well done, the second one is much better.

    My only suggestion would be to include the year "2008".

    On closer look, I see the MN Vikes logo on the boys' helmet, so I'm sure it's OK on your poster. I know there was a big controversy a few years ago about using MLB names and logos in Little League. I don't know if there were/are similar concerns with football. Either way, i like the way you use the logo on your poster--it adds a nice detail.

    Exellent! And $60 is too cheap for something that good. People will charge that for a plain-jane print that large of youth football.
