Silly Tuesday Ronaldo

Posted by Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 27 July 2010 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

Did they all come down to watch the beach soccer?
Is this lad Portugese or Brazilian?
Is his name Christiano?

Come back tomorrow to find out more.

Stephen from Canberra, Australia

Lovely colour and texture and with so much detail you do well to keep the focus on the two kids. Maybe the dark clouds are an ominous sign about how the real Ronaldo played in the World Cup!

You should try and get down for the next air show, it's quite an occasion with 1/4 million people down at the beach!
