About the Image(s)
This image was created a few years ago in Havana-Cuba at the Cathedral Square. These children were on school break and playing soccer on the street. The image is very obvious that the only girl is determined not to let the boy grab the ball. They were struggling for a few seconds and the girl kept the ball.
Used a Nikon D5 with the Nikkor zoom lens 28-300 mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 190 mm and these settings: ISO 2500 (Auto), f/8 and 1/1250 sec. The image was PP in LightRoom and cropped.

Kids are always good subjects for HI. But HI also needs to tell a story, and yours does: Competition. The image is well centered, well exposed and properly scaled. Good job,Isaac! Posted: 05/16/2026 21:48:11

Hello Isaac, you always do pick such interesting moments to capture, and I love the girl vs boy moment in your image.She looks like the tough one, and even the other two watching seem to agree. Lovely sharpness, great choice of aperture for a blurred (but obvious) background. The street feel is very strong. Love it. Posted: 05/17/2026 16:57:38
