Very good photojournalistic shot

Interesting angles - the world just a bit askew - can almost hear the boys' grunts.

Composition, light and print quality are excellent, nice range of tones. The boys stay in the foreground beautifully with the backround's light tones. Highlights are kept well in check. Needless to say this reminds me of Henry Carter-Bresson, but this photographer deserves respect for his uniqueness. The players are exquisitely outlined by the light, and it is as if they were unaware of the photgrapher as I am almost sure they were aware. It is amazing how he doesn't intrude. Well done.

Amazing angle and light. Even the buildings seem to lean out from the ball with the boys. Great shot!

Amazing! It feels just like I'm there, watching these boys play! Kudos to the photographer. :)

All 3 boys were caught off balance and the lighting was just right.
