Beautiful all the way, Leif!Thanks Lloyd, and I will. Actually it´s been quite pleasant - hoping for more the last week. This guy´s happy up there as long it doesn´t rain - and the sheep aren´t too scary!

+1Rayyan, I Think We Should Rent The Pink Sugar Shack & Gather All Of Our DPI Brothers & Sisters & Paint The Town Red In HDR!Funky Mobile Shot!
Sounds like fun, Rayyan.
(maybe did they provide a "companion" on site?)
Very slim chance indeed, esp? if it's like soccer where youth selections ages are based on year of birth (so -18 can actually be 19). Just being there is terrific for him.
The shot's really great, Lloyd.
And ISO4000 extremely good.
Nice lines and textures, Matt.
Beauty, and beauties, Rayyan

We had a ray of sun between the clouds. No glorious exotic models handy, so i tried a little Rayyan on Lady Bug.

- "doesn't matter. Won't work".
- "hmm. Just a quick take?"
- "ok, one. But you won't get my sharpest figure. And i'm in a hurry so i'll keep walking".
- "never mind..."
Clic, then she went, flying away.
Well, she was right
(nope, no crop, Matt)

Thank you everyone.
Corlan: Yes, that is how they do it for the U-18 team as well. To add to the difficulty for my nephew, there were only two players from his home state, and the the tryouts consisted of a tournament played primarily by teams from different states. He and his friend were assigned to a team from a state which already had about 20 players, and the coaches for that team knew those players, but not my nephew or his friend. As a result, they saw limited playing time. The good news is, he got some good experience, and, even better, his parents report that he apparently caught the attention of some college scouts, which is what they were really hoping for anyway.

Certainly not "tack sharp" :deadhorse:
But i'll like it anyway... Thanks Lloyd
Being incorporated as an extra in an existing squad is a hard one, and even a bit unfair (had a comparable experience/predicament in soccer many many years ago -it turned out ok nevertheless, though i chose a different path). The experience is priceless. And if he caught some attention, that's great.
I'm not too versed in baseball, is it a big thing in college nowadays? Thought it was not an easy way into scholarship...
Wishing him the very best!
