Its a good picture. Maybe crop in tighter to the boys and the ball...there's a lot of wasted space. Other than that, I like it!

As a soccer guy, the problem I have with the image is I have no idea what is happening. Is it two kids both being goalkeepers? It doesnt make soccer sense so it is really confusing.

As far as the image itself - the dark sky and the late light add some interest... Also the weedy field and the ghetto net, beat up ball, and patina'ed goals make me feel like there is a story, but I am not getting how it all ties together or what this image is saying.

It's obvious, Jensers! They're simply recreating the end of the Uruguay-Ghana game.

I like the lighting, but agree that the action is confusing, since it doesn't fit within the rules of the game.
