I enjoy reading the story behind the photograph. Thanks for sharing that. :D Some of my favorite images are those captured just as you have done here, spur of the moment, quick stop. Even better, years from now this will remind you of your road trip. Nicely done.

Smile and keep having fun! :-)

It's funny. I didn't notice the coffee cup until I saw his shadow on the wall. :D I like the warm glow of the late day sunlight.

The aftermath

Cute. Probably get a handful of humor votes. As an image it's fine overall on technical merits. I like how the center line moves the viewer to the subject. Speaking of subject...isn't this challenge supposed to NOT include the players? Hmmm. Anyway, good luck in the challenge.

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.

Interesting perspective. I like the POV. The empty bleachers in the background look pretty cool blurred out like that. Good connection to the challenge theme. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Wonderful image. Looks like you accidentally put this in the wrong challenge? Perhaps Bokeh III? Bummer...

over already?

Seems grainy in the shadows like the original exposure was a bit too dark maybe from the interior lights? Interesting POV for this challenge - I like that. Not sure about including a person in the shot...hmmm. Anyway, best of luck to you in the challenge.

Corner Boards

I like that you included part of the ice area to show viewers the sporting venue. It also acts as an initiator for the curved waves of rowed seating to follow. That probably sounded corny I know, but that's the way I see it when I look at your photo. All of this verbiage for empty seats - aaiieee! :D Good luck in the challenge.

And they didn't even drink it! :D Nice lines in this photo and well positioned focal point. Little grainy, but hey, it works. Good luck in the challenge.
