A very well thought out image..probably too understated for challenge entry.. which is a great shame as it benefits greatly from a lingering look allowing the viewer to appreciate the subtleties.

Good work

Excellent idea and so well executed.

I`ve tried this type of stuff in the past and know how difficult it is to get right.
Congratulations on the ribbon.

Thanks for the comment Adrian..in answer to above,only a small amount of shots on the day were overexposed..so I had a large amount to choose from when selecting for the press.
I mainly shoot for the team`s website www.falkirkfc.co.uk and the matchday magazine..only very occasionally am I asked to supply the press.The whole thing is a hobby and I`m far from being a Pro.

I have shot in Raw previously and knew of it`s benefits with returning detail into blown highlights but never found much advantage to it in terms of keeping noise out of enlargements with underexposed shots but maybe that`s down to my lack of knowledge on the technical side of things..I am considering shooting in Raw once more and doing a bit of research into getting the best out my camera..hadn`t heard of DxO until you mentioned it and I`ll certainly look into that.

Thanks again.
