Description

This is one of the coaches of the team that lost the division championship (Philadelphia High School Football) game last night. I photographed him from a distance BEFORE the game. It went on to be an exciting game, and this man's team gave the winners the toughest time of any opponent all season long.

The natural lighting & tones, clarity & expression are to near perfection, Michelle. A good game is the important thing.
