The Football Itself, by Ana Sylvia Encinas

Soccer is a very popular sport here in Mexico. This photo represents the love for Soccer at schools. Kids begin their practices at elementary schools, then move on to state teams and national. But it all starts here. Laying flat on my stomach, I made this photo, using only the available sun-setting light.
