Hockey Pose by kwind

Hockey Pose

We spent an absolutely gorgeous day with my sister and her two kids. Our sons are exactly 6 weeks apart and spent a good portion of the day playing road hockey outside our house. This is my nephew in a hockey pose.

Here's another hockey shot from today: http://365project.org/kwind/extra-shots/2013-03-29


Thanks for all your comments and favs. My gum wall shot made the PP, which is always a thrill.
Love that shadow!

Great stance! Love a good shadow shot. This is is awesome!

Love it too! He actually looks young and vulnerable to me, but putting on a big shadow. Kind of like walk softly but carry a big stick? :-)

@maggiemae The light is coming from the the sun. It was 6:30 pm (I need to change my camera for daylight savings). I've adjusted the exposure and contrast to make it look darker.

I love this!! Awesome lighting and sweet shadow. I grew up with three brothers who all played hockey, so I was around it ALL THE TIME and always liked playing on the dugouts in the winter and at the rink. I'm fav'ing this shot :)
And how kewl that you and your sister have kids so close in age!!
March 30th, 2013  
Amazing shot and shadow! Love the interest in the composition by cutting off the real head but keeping the shadow one. Very cool!
March 30th, 2013  
@archaeofrog My main reason for cutting off his head was to hide the ugly background. There was a for sale sign in plain view. I thought it worked well like this too!
March 30th, 2013  
@kwind I love how forced decisions about composition can have positive impacts!
March 30th, 2013
