If this was focused on Henry? or whom ever the Arsenal player is and was a little lower it would have been a brilliant shot i think. Still good win for Barca :-)

Would have rated higher but the lack of focus/depth detracts for me.

Fantastic photo. I would of given it a 9 but it's slightly out of focus.
But with the Barca player celebrating in the back it's composed perfectly.

Fantastic shot, could have been so much better though.

lol I knew this wouldn't sdo that well , but to do SO badly makes me laugh!

thanks Dr Timbo , arnit and eveyone with positive comments

just to clarify

THIS IS A DELIBERATE SHOT. no need for a tripod, no camera shake etc...

to re-create the you need a funky shadow, soft as possible (i had to deliberatly lower the light)
the image you get doesn't really look like anything UNTIL the post-shot work (in my case in photoshop)
and then its a case of getting the different tones out, the fullsize image has an amazing grain and texture to it, I'll post it online somewhere

and thanks regarding the cinematic look as that's totally what i was going for that and slightly creepy - after all it's a grim, fairy tale

what i didn't want to produce was a beautiful sunset with a path through a forest of lush leaves! :-)

I can't believe this is so low - I gave it an 8 - I think its really clever.

Looks blurred from camera shake, you need a tripod or more light to avoid this

This picture will probably rate in the bottom 10 but I really like it. There is something about it. I will rate it highly. Good job and good luck.
