Simply gorgeous :cool:

A composition that 'ticks' all the right boxes and I promise that my comment is not intended as a 'wind up'. :wink:

The word that comes to my mind is "gobsmacking"! Every element of the conception and composition approaches perfection, IMO. Yours ever so humbly, A photographic 'snapper' with delusions of achieving something greater :roll:

Always a pleasure to view the work of someone working at the 'cutting edge' of photography. :smile:

Surely a duo of nectarines, or have I misinterpreted your chosen title? :smile:

Opened a flood gate of warm memories of a visit on a wet and windy Sunday back in the early eighties with my eldest daughter, then six, my best mate at the the time and his two boys. Both of us had recently separated from the children's respective mothers at the time and were still struggling to adapt to the change in our circumstances, as I recall.

Superb and creative use of DOF to make the batsman and wicket keeper the stand-out characters :cool:

You're in danger of making the rest of us face up to our inadequacies: stop it - now! :lol:

Such presence, such style: oh to be young again in body, spirit and not just mind :tease:

Deserved winner - delivers image quality and visual satisfaction in spades! Choice of B+W definitely the right one. Wish I had the social skills necessary to approach and photograph people in the street :cry:
