The Porthleven wall of l-r; Kevin Lawrence, Steve Brewer, Mark Holland and Mike Davies take a free kick full on during a recent league game against local rivals Penryn. Some wonderful expressions from the players and this was used large on the back page of our local paper last week - and I got some stick from the lads when I photographed them again on Bank Holiday Monday Smile

Thanks for looking, comments welcome as ever !!

Nice one. I'm not surprised the local paper used it. Makes a great alternative to usual sports photography by adding a 'more human' element.

I'm confused, is it the incoming football that is causing them to grimace or the fact that they are gripping too tight Smile

Has to be worth a vote just for those expressions!

Just think now you could have this printed on canvas and presented to the club so that the four lads will forever be reminded of the moment Smile

Should make you even more popular with them!

Having played a bit of football I know that feeling of dred, is it him or me and are my bits fully protected. A great pic, with a element of humour. Well done!

Working for my local football club I can appreciate this. People love facial expression in Sport Action shots don't they? Smile

Well captured! Worths it's EC!
