Bonsoir Gal,

Ca me plaît beaucoup ce jeu de lumière, ces forts contrastes, le tilt ajoute la touche qu'il faut...Mon oeil est surtout attiré par la partie avant et son jaune qui tranche avec le gris du bitume. Très chouette !

Stéphanie.

Hello Gal,
Technically, emotionnally, this is a wonderful picture.
I add this one to my favourites, it really made echo in me, i have the feeling to "understand" something when I look at it.
There's nothing more to say, except Congratulations.

yes Gal, I am sure Portugal will win, although it's difficult to win when you are not there ;-)
I am a big sucker for soccer images, ever since I had a chance to see football by magnum I can't stop thinking for doing images just like that, and obviously when growing up I was the super hero goalie, or number 10 and was called this or that name.....

love your image, little hero and his ball, I am sure in his head he is just about to score the biggest goal in the history, and he will be the hero forever, love the lines and shadows, superb image.

Força! The great stars of the game are always on the line between light and dark. And is that a smiling face on the wall approving of his practice? Just so. Nicely seen. -Hugh

plutôt bien vu... surtout cette lumière... j'aurai peut-être aimé voir l'ombre du gamin en entier et avoir moins de la vue de la rue au loin... ça emmène l'oeil trop vers le haut... mais belle photo tout de même.

Hello Gal
I like the light in this shot, the long shadows are really great.
Very good title:)

Great light and great composition. I love how you have used the X's. I love how the boy and his ball are silhouetted and his long shadow falls across the front of the frame.
Regards,
Ryan
P.S. Europeans like football too? Cool! Oh, you mean soccer? Who cares ;)

Hi Gal,
a very nice street scene with the kid and the ball. The signs on his way look very attractive and give the image something graphical. I even like the illumination of the scenery.

With Scolari or… Mourinho? That is the question!!!
The kid could well be C. Ronaldo a few years ago!!!
The ball almost crossing the side line is perfect and the silhouette and shadow are wonderful. Well done.

Excellente photo!

I think you're singlehandedly redefining the vertical genre, Gal. This is an achingly beautiful compo, great shadows, placement of the boy, and depth...
Best,

And I think I'm going to be in Canada and miss the whole thing....but Ive always got ice hockey I guess. Good daily life image, with those painted lines being the main drawcard here, imitating those of a soccer pitch.

Hi Gal,

I'll help you hoping... The Netherlands will be kicked out at the quarter finals - as we do since 1934 - with the exception of the 70's (in which we got kicked out in the finals) ;-).

Greetings,
Dennis

Obviously! :)
Great composition Gal. The profusion of verticals and diagonals maybe asked for a landscape format but you used the vertical so well that it's almost a crime mentioning that. Great game of shadows, but that you already know.

Sempre vens no fim de Outubro?

Hi Master G.,
Após uma longa ausência é bom estar de volta e saber que estás também de volta com aquilo com que sempre nos habituaste. Adoro a perspectiva e a projecção da longa sombra cria um efeito espectacular tornando o pequeno jogador num qualquer grande jogador de futebol.
Amazing....
Aquele Abraço
Fred

I used to hate football, then I just didnt't like it, I do play hattrick manager online for a year now and yes, I do like your photo A LOT. The way u bring out every day themes is unique.

May I continue your note? Yes I may: Macedonia will not pass qualifications-AGAIN!

Hello Gal
Excellent urban scene,
the combination of extreme light and shadow is great,
I find the almost monochromatic greyness of it very athmospheric.
Regards
Daniel
PS will you be around lisbon on October 28?

Wonderful play with shapes and light, Gal. I like your patriotism shining forth from the note :-), but am afraid Hungary will beat them all... :-)))
Lovely work!
