Sorry this is late but it completely slipped my mind....I selected this photo because it reminds me of high school. I attended Lytle High School and for 4 years was the team manager for most of the girls sports, including basketball. There is no indication of whether or not the girls are competing at a high school level, collegiate, or professionally. When I look at this photo however I think of high school girls. I like photos that make you smile, and can inspire you, and that's what this photo does for me. Being part of a team can be a very special journey. These girls who obviously won, are overjoyed, but seeing them celebrate I can understand their achievement. When they began their season they probably had no idea that it would culminate into this victory. On the other hand the photo also shows the other side of competing, losing. This photo captures the essense of the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat, which I can tell you being from a small school was as experience I know all too well. I think the thing that I learned most from this photo, is how much more compelling this photo is made, by capturing the girl on the floor from the losing team. I also learned that, although it's just one photo, there are so many questions and assumptions that can be made by this still moment.
My passion used to be basketball, and sports in general. So i like this picture. I like the caption of the victorious moment.
