image notes: University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, Razorback Stadium. The paid photographer missed the catch.
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.

February 12, 2012Great illustration to your words. Something happening to the left of the people seems getting the attention of a few of them!

February 12, 2012WOW! Fantastic moment captured. So – did you get ‘paid’ instead of him???

February 12, 2012It’s just fascinating to look at the contrast in body language of all of your subjects here, Sherri!

February 13, 2012Perfect title and quote to match this really interesting scene. I can’t help but examine every face in the scene–really cool Sherri!

February 14, 2012I’m guessing that red is the color of the home team here ;-) Nicely timed shot! And what I find funny is that the majorety of the people on in the croud seem to be looking the other way or not pay attention to the action on the field!

February 17, 2012What I love about this gem of yours? It’s looking at it & with every glance there’s more to discover. Like a puzzle bringing it all together after a while. Great, Sherri!
All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

February 17, 2012Know the feeling, how many missed shots I’ve had myself. You certainly captured an interesting moment, Sherri!

February 19, 2012I like the red colors all over this shot. It is a real American setting. And yes, it is pretty funny how that photographer completely misses this action.

February 21, 2012I can’t say I understand the game but I can enjoy the image Sherri.
