Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 7:19 pmThe last image is the one that stands out from the rest in my opinion.
It just smells of country cricket, not pretentious, just a good game of cricket on a saturday, reminds me of days when I played cricket in teh country as a kid.
I love the fact that the dude is wearing footy shorts, skate shoes, anklet socks and what looks like a local pub promo shirt, this coupled with the BG that appears to be a country railway or road really sets the shot up for a winner.
From a technical stand point this image is also the best, the DOF and subject isolation works marvellously.
Top stuff.

I kick once in a while keeps the umpire awake after a hard Friday night.

Agree and it's also my pick out of all the shots on the day. It's at a place called Merah North, not far from Burren Junction and in the midst of farmland, bush and a single cotton gin, where you watch where you walk in case of Joe Blakes. The team in pink is Cuttabri and mainly Indigenous mates. The background does included a rail track, by the way.
Being out on the field with them makes me want to put the camera away and join in.
