I love the crop in your photo, it's different and I like that. Also the light is great, in combination with the colors, you just have a wonderful photo!!

hmm, I think you made the right decision not to enter this one in the fire-challenge (did you enter another one?)

You said it was a bit boring in the comment-thread, and well, I have to agree with you. Ok, the bottom part is a bit interesting, but it doesn't hold my attention really long. The horizontal line makes it also a bit interesting. But the top-part (black) just doesn't do it for me.

I'm curious what photo you entered in the challenge!

not boring! The details are very good.

I do think it could use a bit color-management to brighten up everything.

hey sam! love the fresh colors in your photo, maybe a tad overexposed on the leafs of the flower imo. the DoF in the background is perfect, love the colors and softness there.

focuspoint seems to be a little bit in front of the butterfly? maybe use a bit of a smaller aperture, to be sure the focus is ok.

I have the feeling some photoshop worked with you here; the clouds don't seem to fit? especially at the poles at the left bottom. ah well. took me a while to figure that out. you'll see it turns out to be wrong!

anyway, I love the clouds at the back of the stadium. The building itself isn't very interesting for me (no soccer-fan). Maybe crop a little from the top, since that's almost all dark and not too interesting or.. uh.. *een toevoeging* for the photo.

maybe clone the tree out in the almost center of the photo to get a real smooooth photo ;)
