Love the expressions on the kids' faces hate the expression on the ref. It looks like you scared the hell out of him.
 
Mark,
You're right! I hadn't looked at the picture from that point of view before. The kids do have wonderful faces. By the way, can you guess which kid won the match? The ref was a bit of a ham. I think he was just looking up into my lens to be sure we all got to see his mug. He was in fact, a really good guy and a great ref
 
I just stopped in to see if this film looks as promising in 35mm as it is in 120. Like the shot here. A lot of tension between the two boys. My money's on the kid on the left.
 
Dean, you win. The boy on the left pinned the boy on the right in the second round. In fact, the right hand boy didn't earn a single point before the match ended. I think maybe I didn't do such a great job reducing the size of the original scan. It's really quite sharp and virtually grainless... which is strange for film reputed to have 'more grain than Tri-x'
