Nice composition, seems slightly dark to me, possibly a longer shutter speed to allow more light in (tricky as to not get a blown sky...a ND filter helps for those slower shutter speeds). I like the bridge in the background and a nice array of colors for visual interest.

Try a slightly different composition, with the horizon line not dead center.

I originally thought of trying to plug the controller into the football and show the cord attached. Then, I played with taking shots at ground level with the football. And, in the end, I decided on this one to try to make it look like they are one unit. Two kids toys, one physical and one electronic, combined into one unit.

I did darken it a little to put less emphasis on my dead grass in the shot. I was laying on the ground to get this also, but there are no points given for awkward positioning in taking photos here. Either way, I think the show did as well as expected.

This barn will be gone in less than 6 months, I have been told. THere is going to be a bypass road built to feed into the neighborhood behind it that is being built up. It is sad to see such reminders of our past plowed under and paved over. So, we better photograph them while we can!
