The Fight for Possession
This photograph captures the raw energy and unbridled passion of a street football game in rural India. The scene, bathed in the warm hues of a sun-drenched afternoon, unfolds on a dusty, uneven pitch marked only by faint white lines. Three young men, their bare feet grounding them to the earth, are locked in a moment of intense concentration.
