This impressive colour photograph shows a calm, almost meditative scene: a young man, photographed from behind, stands with a football in his hand. His gaze is directed downwards - perhaps towards the football, perhaps inwards. The simple background directs the focus entirely on posture, light and texture. The warm sun casts delicate shadows on his skin, emphasising his muscular back and giving the fabric of his shirt a lively appearance.
The composition looks like a still from a film - honest, unembellished and full of quiet tension. A picture about concentration, preparation and the moment between movement and standstill.
