I like it as it is, if it makes any difference :-) It's sports, the
ball is more important, the camera does not exist. Very fond of the
hair in front of the eyes and the blue-red-blonde combi. Pity the
glasses stuck to the chest.

At 150mm you would have to experiment a bit, is my inexperienced
guess.

Thanks, Pat in SF,

I didn't notice the ears when I was shooting, only after I got the print 
back.  I immediately thought of my infamous self-portrait, though.  Quite 
serendipitous, eh?

Thanks for your thoughts!

BTW, my critique of my own shot:
1. blue cast - partly scanner but also on the film.  Should have had a
warm-up filter on this bright but overcast day.
2. slight cutoff of subject.  Naughty boy, you are old enough to know
better.  Fixed length lens = more use of feet.
3. _maybe_ would have been better if she had been looking at camera.  I
am far too slow and unpractised to catch real decisive moments.
4. skillful use of fill flash might have improved colour balance.
