Actually, practically everybody stayed for an exciting, if sloppy, win by the University of California Golden Bears. Luckily I got free tickets to the game this week! Unfortunately there was no way I could stay long enough to shoot after the stadium was empty, so I'm settling for this proof that regulation time had expired for this game.

All that's left now is to "tie one on" since y'all "tied one on." :}

Nice and sharp, but given this board read-out, I don't think that the players and people have gone home. Wish for something more than just the scoreboard, at least something purple. Go Huskies!

This shot doesn't really do anything for me. Sure, I get it that there's a tie and everything, but I don't feel any drama or emotion, and of course, if the game's in overtime, then obviously the players and fans are all still there.

This might be in violation of the literal representation of artwork rule. Interesting concept; sharp image.

Nice natural frame. :) Cute take on the challenge theme. Wonder how it's going over with the voters? :D Scoreboards are tough to get to look right sometimes (at least for me) because the illumination usually comes across looking blurry. Yours is like that some as well, but you have the fixed text/scoreboard labels focused and large enough for viewers to know all is well (at least those critiquing). Hope you tell us in your comments who won the game! Good luck in the challenge.

for a visual scavenger hunt this would be right on - for a photography contest it's hard for me to give a flat image as this much of a score. Hope that helps you to see why my score is low - it's meant kindly.

The colours are really good, but I don't know that I like this image very much.

Not knowing the sport or the rules I have trouble knowing the game is over and nobody is left in the venue. DNMC=3 sorry

what a game, but does this meet challenge since game is going on and then into OT?

Challenge was to photograph the venue after everyone is gone, not just before overtime

But if it's into overtime, the game isn't over and players and people haven't gone home yet, have they? It's a cool shot otherwise....
