Derby Dolls

Some weeks ago our friends invited us to see an LA Derby Dolls competition. [link] We had a terrific time.
The rules at the venue prohibit the use of "pro" cameras or "long" lenses. This photograph results from those limitations embraced as a challenge. It's a tableaux running from spectators to players through to announcers with different lighting on each. The man at the center with arms folded and wearing glasses was the doctor in residence.
The players were fantastic as much for their skill and energy as for their unbelievable joy in the way they participated in the event.

If you are interested in the photograph you'll be a lot better off downloading the image. DeviantART green really interferes with the unusual pallet in this shot.
