I used a bit of everything to clean this up, (as the time was running out and it was a grey day): saturation, levels, unsharp mask, cropping, and the rubber stamp to take out an unsightly lamp.
Other than that, it is pretty straightforward. I expect to get hamered in the voting on composition, as the yellow shirt should be up near the rim to give a little contrast, and the apartment in the back isn't the best background. But, given where we live and what I had to work with, this was about the best I could do.
The score is secondary though. We had a great time taking this shot, complete with all the other kids from the complex cheering us on.

LOL. too funny. How long did he have to hang up there before the other one shot one in? Technically, it's leaning over to the left? It looks like a snapshot, which I think adds to the charm of the picture but maybe reshoot it somewhere that doesn't have all the background distractions and it would be a winner. It's such a wonderful idea!
