The light pole is a major eye grabber that pulls me away form the main subject. Not sure if cloning that item out would be within challenge rules or not. Otherwise, I like this and it tells an all too common tale.

Opening the Season...Another Loss

Comment by Leo:
Spent a bit of time trying to figure out what I like and didn't like about this photo. It immediately drew me into it as "back to school", the first game of the season. I like that the players on the field are "highlighted" and the rest of the scene fades to the background. At first I didn't like that the players were such a small part of the photo, but the more time I'm looking at it, the more I like the "scale" because this is what I imagine what I would see from the far sideline. With that said, I think you may get dinged by the DPC crowd for the square crop, the negative space above the players, the images being dark, and on the technicals. For me the subject overcomes these critiques. Good luck on the challenge.

Tom, the star effect on the sun is pretty cool and the reflection of the sun looks like a burning streak which is pretty cool, nice shot.

I like the selective desat. I cannot quite tell if this is placed in the center or not. I wonder how this would have looked if you had moved the yellow more towards one the corners? 7
