Sideline Blue by darylo

Sideline Blue

Soccer again today. Daughter executed a beautiful left-footed, chipped-over-the-goalie's head score today. The side lines were a pretty blue, so I had to get down on the ground and make a spectacle of myself with a DOF shot. Wonder if EOTB4 is running--I definitely got some funny looks.
This is so gorgeous—blue due on winter grass—focus in...

Wow! What we wouldn't do to get a good picture, no matter who is looking! Great to know like-minded souls....

@markp Thanks Mark! @amrita21 I know, right? I think I provide lots of comedy for the onlookers. What I'll do for art! lol

Love this shot. I agree, the things we do for our art!

@judis I have read the EOTB competition rules as one MUST be looked at oddly by those watching a photographer take a shot to even be considered for the finals in competition (not MAY). hehe. How did your art project go??

@darylo I finished it and submitted photos and an artist statement. I am the 277 submission, so lots of competition. I won't know until the end of April if my work is accepted. Now I am working on a project for my art group based on the crocus flower photo I posted today.

@judis I loved that photo- the light and shadows and color. Made me think of artichokes too (it always goes back to food for me..hehe). Good luck on the competition!!

I love this shot!! The focus is so perfect and the contrasting colors. It makes a great abstract.

I can often be found laying on the ground - people tripping over me! Great shot - from both you and your daughter! : )

@rennes I think we should start a Theme Competition that tells the story of how ridiculous we looked while taking a shot! It's more about the "story behind the photo" that captures the votes--the more suffering and tripping and falling, the better! :)

Haha! Yup, no doubt you got a few stares, but good for you anyway! And congrats to your daughter for a mighty fine score :-)
