Old No. 7

You seem to be the only one to notice the blurred background ... good eye! : )

FWIW on the print image I have tried to make the effect a little less pronounced, and added matching blurring through the windows and out the back of the cab, which I didn't bother with for the entry.

I am especially happy with (and surprised by) all the comments on the sharpness and clarity, as this was a handheld shot at an extremely slow 1/6-second shutter speed, and I have a disk full of slightly blurry train shots to show that that this was perhaps as much luck as skill.

Thanks for all the comments and my best score in a while!

I like the detail on this shot. The cropping seems a bit tight, but I don't know that it affects the overall impact. Even though this is "Old No. 7" I think I may need to give it an 8.

Good tight composition and exposure.

Impressively clean and crisp vs. most other challenge entries.

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.
