About the image: Taken in Frederickshaven, Denmark at the Dana Cup No. 1 international football tournament. The red team is my team, and the blue team is from Marin, California. Since 1983 I have taken over 1,000 young soccer players and many parents around the world to play in international soccer tournaments.
The Dana Cup hosts around 300 teams from many countries. My wife and I organized a team each year to compete in different tournaments around the world. We played in Denmark and Sweden many times and were fortunate to win the Dana Cup many times. Sometimes we dominated so much that I was able to get out my camera and capture great images. We won the championship trophy beating Marin 2-1. Good light allowed me to do only mild cropping to the image.

Hi Bruce. A fine capture of two players trying to head the ball both have their eyes closed which is different. Some may say the white blurred post going behind the red jumper player is a distraction but we cannot choose the ideal position always as players are not static in soccer. Posted: 11/13/2024 04:24:13

Great picture, Bruce. Very sharp and the action is frozen. I agree with Ronald, but nothing you can do as he shares. Otherwise, I like what you've captured. Congrats on winning the championship trophy as well! Posted: 11/14/2024 00:59:13

Bruce, besides the peak of action, the faces expression makes this image. Congratulations for having a team with your name and winning so many trophy's. Posted: 11/14/2024 17:01:35
