Urban Basketball

These two youths were basketball training in Nottingham's "Crowd Funded" skatepark and basketball courts in the heart of the city centre.

They are my next strangers !

I thought black and white gives the image a real urban vibe.

Best on a black background, if you can spare an extra 'click'
