Thanks! About the third picture: yeah, it's funny when foreshortening or whatever causes it to look like there's no distance between the hand and what's behind it! It's the same in the first pic: Gago seems to be handling the ball, but of course it's actually far from his hand!

When I watched Gago closely during games, he just looked so graceful. And he never seems to get hurt, or hurt anyone else. He rarely fouls anyone, and rarely picks up a yellow card. So the 'Poetry in Motion' idea came to me.

He is so very unstarlike. And yet he caught a lot of peoples' attention. I was reading a Sports Illustrated online article that compared him to LOTR's Legolas. LOL.
