pat,disturbed???? ha. I am an artist...how can you be disturbed??? hahaha. you should see the three rolls that I took at the game...it looks like a daggum abercrombie shoot. ha. I didn't even feel slightly weird about this shot...I mean, it's the legs that make you think "rugby"...wanted to capture that...they obviously want to be defined by their legs, I mean look at how small their shorts are! THAT is why you should be disturbed.

ps. cathy, thanks for comment...and I apologize for the banter with pat! #29988

No apologies necessary Ryan - this is a great shot! I'm not really sure why Pat finds it disturbing. I agree - it is the legs that make you think "rugby". Now, if you had shown them grabbing butts or something, I could understand. This is a good clean shot, and interestingly enough, when I'm watching sports on t.v., especially rugby, soccer, football, etc., I am watching the legs of the players, because that's where the action is. Shame on me - when I'm watching hockey, I'm looking at their "sticks"!Cathy :) #30462
