Face-off

University School's sixth and seventh grade football team was playing Monticello Middle School, which is just a few blocks from my house, so I walked over to watch for a bit. I taught all of this year's seventh graders last year when they were sixth graders, so it was fun to watch them play.

I'm not sure I have the rigth equipment or the right skill to take good sports pictures, but there are some things I like about this shot. I like the two players centered in the photo facing each other, and the line of teammates and coaches looking on. I also like the parts of other players you can see on each side of the picture--indicating that there is more going on on the field than main subjects.
