Well, old for an athlete anyway. That is to say a competitive athlete playing in an all ages league (not masters or seniors). He was far and away the oldest player out there that day.

Re: PESO - Grizzled Warrior
Great expression, Frank, but the frame overall is a tad on the tight side. Maybe a step or two back? Still, great expression.

Re: PESO - Grizzled Warrior
Great expression! Good shot, Frank. Was this near Humber College?

Re: PESO - Grizzled Warrior
Great expression and strong portrait, Frank. Somehow, I want to see the top of his head, though.

Re: PESO - Grizzled Warrior
I agree about he head, Dan. I had the 200mm prime on and couldn't zoom out. Was trying to get the head and the ball in the frame and cut a a bit of both out. In a perfect world I would have had all of his head in there. Oh well... ;-) Thanks so much for the comment. Thanks to Dave and Bruce as well and thanks to those who looked.

Re: PESO - Grizzled Warrior
Thanks, Bruce. It was indeed at Humber. South field. There was a Rugby match at the east field but the backgrounds were horrible: parked cars and school buildings. Took photos there as well but no one will see them. ;-) At least the south field has trees on three sides. Glad you liked. Appreciate the comment.

It's been ages since I saw any Aussie Rules as it's not broadcast here (not free-to-air anyway). I remember thinking it looked very silly.
