At my daughters gradutation party last week, her friend Doug brought over his game of "Corn Hole". I had never heard of it, but it is just a simple game of tossing bean bags into a hole in a wooden target. I got this shot as Doug showed everyone his expertise in the game.

I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.
Please give me your constructive comments - I do appreciate your input!
I may not be able to reply to each of your comments - but they mean a lot to me and I thank you!
A very nice study in motion. Doug seems to be quite focused on this game.

@Marion: Thank you Marion - he is a nice kid and my daughter's prom date this year.
While it's not obvious what it is he's doing ... it is obvious he's enjoying himself in a beautiful setting. When my family gathers for family celebrations, my nephews play a game called "washers" in which they toss large washers into a circular enclosure in a wooden box. In this highly complex world in which we live, sometimes it's the simple things that provide the most pleasure.

@Ron: Simple things can provide the most fun - like when the kids play with the boxes on Christmas instead of what was in the boxes!!
Wonderful technique and facial expression... nice shot, Chris.
