Coach's Last Game

The man pictured was the Coach of the Stixx Baseball Team. He coached these boys for six years (ages 9-14) and this was their last game. The old photographer was there for virtually all of them. I flipped the photo so you could read the name of the team easier. It was a sad moment for all, but life goes on. My grandson is number 16. Most of these boys are now in their Junior year of High School. He's reflecting in more ways then one. Another contest possibility.

Excellent title and background. This is an amazing photograph. Never seen anything quiet like it.

An amazing shot Tick - a perfect contender for the contest and I expect we'll see it in the top 5 too.

Ah! A deeper thought behind the picture. A worthy contender. On technicalities, I love the clarity of the reflection. Good move in flipping the image.

Great looking shot, Tick. Awesome reflections in the sunglasses. This should do very well in the contest.

A powerful and moving photo of the coaches last meeting with the team. Such an original entry for the contest; beautifully shot and presented, Tick. Good luck (as if you need any with this entry..)

He did good....It takes a lot of patience and friendship to keep training those that are interested!....

Plus..he had the added benefit of a n'owd photographer dogging his steps all that time too!...

Good contender for the contest!...

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), if this will be your entry for the current contest, I won't only say 'Good Luck' with it, but I like to say as well that's a perfect one because of the original approach of the contest topic.
Very creative and inventive too.
See that your grandson has almost become an adult. The ones of mine too. We are getting old Tick, therefore the name 'old photographer' is very well chosen by you (it's valid for me too, lol).
