We are the Champions! by kwind

We are the Champions!

I watched and photographed (they paid me) an amazing baseball game between my current city and tiny former hometown this afternoon. It was the final game of the BC Provincials for boys aged 10 and 11. My son was NOT on the team so my loyalties were really mixed up. I wanted Campbell River to win because that's where I live now but secretly I think I wanted my former hometown of Ladysmith to take the gold even more. It was such an entertaining game with a final score of 4-3 for Campbell River. I got the team together for a group huddle after the medal presentation. They were rather happy to say the least!

Just for fun... Here's how I got the shot: http://365project.org/kwind/extra-shots/2017-08-06
As the mother of boys (now men), this really melts my heart.

Since I saw the photo of you on your knees to take this photo I am wondering how you knew that you had the group centered? Great shot of the champs!

Fabulous POV, and great to see the photographer in the later photo too

@skipt07 The shot was total luck! I had my wide angle lens and tried to put it in the center but really couldn't tell. I rotated and cropped it just a tiny bit to get it where it is here.
