Stand Straight, Shoulders Back, Chins Up. by ladymagpie

Stand Straight, Shoulders Back, Chins Up.

Took me back to my service days in the 60's when we were bullied on the parade ground. But in this case the seats stand straight in the back row of the main stand at my beloved Forest Green Rovers Football Club.

Interesting point, why is it called the main stand when everyone sits down. Just to confirm the result as well - Forest Green Rovers 3 - 0 Chester FC. I'm allowed a bit of a celebration drink tonight, but please can I get off my knees now?

Best viewed with the magnify button and the picture.
Super POV and composition - great capture

I think this is a stand out photo and a fav. Love the POV and the leading line into the distance. Out-stand-ing. And please get up.

@kathiecb Thank you Kathie, you put a smile on my face with your kind and amusing words. I'm still trying to get up.

@philcameron59 Thanks Phil, no problem getting on my knees for you all, it's the getting up that's the problem.
January 26th, 2014  
Fav for me Lady M. Hope you're off your knees by now and have enjoyed that celebratory beverage. Great clarity, leading lines, composition. I would get down on my knees more often if it were as easy to get back up so please share any tips you may have!

Fantastic pov!

Just love your title! Brilliant shot!

@linnypinny @joeyc Thank you ladies, glad you commented as I wasn't sure about this capture.

@barbarajdonnellan Thank you Barbara, get down is easy, just collaspe but make sure it's onto your front because the dangers of landing on your back is that you could look like a dying fly waving your arms and legs about. Getting up can take time and in my case almost needed the help of a crane. Fortunately the arms of those seats helped,

January 26th, 2014
