Wonderful action shots with the attention where it should be and interesting colors. The expressions are so good!

Peter,

I've rarely seen such expression in North American men playing their version of Rugby, American "Football". The fellows here are pretty primordial in their facial agonies!

Peter, I first saw the images and wanted to see them again in order to comment. I have since done so a few times.

The first image is one of the best I have seen that conveys the intensity of the game and that of the players.

An excellent image without reservation.

Best regards.

Although they're all well executed, the first image stands out for me. The player's faces portray the fine balance between sporting aggression and street violence.

Looking forwards to seeing more Peter.

Bob
