The World Cup

More traveling today on my way back to Waco, but thankfully, I made a safe return.

In recognition of the great sporting event going on over in South Africa, I give you a link I found with some pics from the World Cup.

Highlights...
#1 - I certainly think there's a reason they led with this one. The detail is amazing -- you can even see a reflection of the clouds in the eyes.
#4 - Talk about repetition! One element that can lead to a great photo is a repeating pattern ... Case in point.
#8 - This one made me laugh. I feel like instead of the caption reading "Photographers are led onto the field..." it should read, "Photographers are herded onto the field..."
#10 - As an American, it's difficult to understand just how big of an event this is to everyone else in the world (see picture #38).
#11 - Having watched this goal live, this photo captured the moment perfectly, in my opinion. There was so much energy (both physically and mentally) that went into that kick.
#23 - This one reminds me of a boxing photo. The spray of sweat coming off Gallas's head reminds me of how much it hurts to take a header like that.
#28 - While only seeing a recap of this game, I think this picture pretty much sums it up.
