From last night's Georgia High School AAAAA Soccer semifinal game between East Coweta and Centennial.

Believe me, the young man being invited to leave the field was not nearly as innocent as he is attempting to appear.

    2 yellows and you're outta here
    That has to be his second yellow for an expulsion, and the center judge is certainly not amused.
    I really like the contrast of emotions displayed in their faces.
    Was the player looking at his coach or his mother with that expression?

    Great Shot! It's a shame his parents likely will pass on buying it.

    Sorry for the slow reply. In Georgia High School soccer, players leave the field on a yellow card; and obviously the game on a 2nd. (This was his first.)

    He was looking at his coach and away from the opposing player who was laying on the field attempting to remove the imprint of this guy's elbow from his forehead. eek7.gif

    I love it!!! This photo tells the story, without a caption!!
    I know you always turn out some great sports shots, but what a great example for other people that there lies great photos in the action in between.

    they do that for HS games in Calif. too. But I think the player only has to stay out about 5 min or until the next stop in play.

    btw Kent, I love the shot too and the classic story it tells :D

    Thanks for all of the nice comments.

    Winger's comment is worth reiterating. There are lots of opportunities for great shots immediately following moments of peak action; e.g. goals, touchdowns, fouls, etc. But I have to constantly remind myself to follow the action past the end of the play in order to catch them.

    Ditto the comments about GREAT timing.

    Following up on the comment about 'after the action' shots - at our PPSNYS print competition, one print that scored VERY high and received an additional award was of two little girls on the sidelines at a wedding (reception, I would think) with very different reactions to something going on out of the frame. Title was "oohs and aahs" - and one judge in particular commented on the photographer having the sense to move AWAY from what was obviously (judging from the girls' reactions) a "big deal" to catch THEIR expressions.

    Great shot, Kent!
