These are the wet, dirty and gritty hands of a player blocking during an outdoor volleyball tournament played in the rain. I previously posted this in the Sports Forum, but I believe it has a wider appeal, and not necessarily specific to sports. I hope that's not my ego talking, but just maybe...
Quick, hey I didn't even know Wilson made a volleyball!!! LoL
I used to play a lot and it was all Tachikara and Mikasa.
Not sure this is even a sports shot. Yes it is of a sport but this is so cropped in this situation that it has more of an Editorial feel to it. I find it hard for it to stand on it's own. It's like it needs other supporting shots to put it into context like in an editorial.
And you froze the rain, at first I thought it might be flying sand or dust, though a little high for sand so it confused me. I was a little surprised when you said it was rain! I also don't see the dirt on his hands!!
Anyway, it's a good shot just think the crop diffused its power. It took out all the emotion which is what sports is all about! Remember, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat! I didn't look at it in the sports section. But nice capture!
