 This lady was livid, and loud! Finally another parent from their team came over and quieted her down (a little). The kids on the field? They're 8 years-old...

It's funny looking at the other parents around her. A couple are upset but look at grandma! She's shaking her fist! :-) Then you have others looking on in disbelief and some visibly embarrassed to be next to her.

has nothing to do with your shot but i have to say i think organized sports and the parents that go to them is about the worst thing to happen to childhood since the first divorce

Hahahahaha, Grandma makes this shot. Way more expressive with that shaken fist. I love it.
I do think that you might have benefited from a closer crop.

Good job capturing the moment. One thing that is bothering me is how everyone has a glow to them.
