Love the way this is layered - nice thinking!

Nicely composed!

I love the way the kids all line up to lead you right to the big ball. Very cool. I think it would have been more awesome without the mom. Cloning time?

Either way, a very cool shot.

Fun title and I too like the way the kids lead the eye to the ball. (looks like fun too)

Thanks for taking a look and commenting. I did think about taking the mom out, but decided her posture actually adds to the composition since she is positioned lower than the child and maintains the line. Plus she adds to the story aspect. I wasn't happy that both her and the boy she is next to are slightly blurred as I focused on the ball rather than the children.

No, the story is about the ball...having the foreground people a little blurred out is not a problem for me. I find it kind of leads my eye into the photo... I see something blurry and it steers me towards the stuff that is sharp.
