Cristiano’s free kick - a piece by Dan Leydon

“When planning this piece for AFR I wanted to capture a moment of heightened tension in the Clásico. Something about night games gives a match an added sense of excitement and I love the air of carnival that descends whenever La Liga’s two titans go head-to-head.

Ronaldo’s iconic free kick stance was a definite inclusion and only after I had made the first piece did I have the realisation to add a close up of his eyes.”

We’re delighted to feature Dan’s work on AFR as he experiments with using GIFs to further his creativity. Find Dan on: Twitter / Tumblr / Etsy. [Posted by Eric]
