Black-And-White Photo Competition 2 2017 : Entry Number 124

Judges Comment

This is a frozen moment in time, you can see the future ambitions glow from the boy in the photo. He could be a famous sports player in a few years, or he could have forgotten everything about it.

Photographers Comment

My name is Jason Wessendorf from Verdigre, Nebraska. I generally take photos for the "mom and pop" newspaper my wife and I operate in our small town. The photo was taken with a Nikon 1 J5 with a 10-100 lens. Thank you very much for the mark of excellence and congratulations to the winner. The judges' comments were exactly what I was feeling when I took the photo. Will he play in the Little Leagues next year, fostering a lifelong love of the sport? Or, will he spend next summer at the swimming pool and forget the whole thing? The great thing about being young is that the possibilities are endless and everything is ahead.
