I can't believe we lost this game

I love seat pictures and like the placement of your subject and her vividly contrasting with the seats. DOF is right one and your selection for a seat section is great - strong horizontal lines and vertical lines coming from the sloping seat backs (and complimentary "cutout").

I think a key part of this challenge (imho) was being able to take a people-less photo and make it compelling, so I'm knocking you down a point for that from a "challenge merit" perspective. But the photo itself really works for me.

Nice perspective and it definitely has an "after the game" feel to it. As far as "challenge merit" I like how this is clearly a sporting venue and that your "subject" is something that really is likely to have been left after a game (vs. say a bat, glove or even a ball). Nice strong lines.

What appeals to me about this picture is how my eye movement mimics the movement of the game. Nice perspective and composition.

I like the symmetry and mood here. Alas it doesn't meet what I'm looking for in this challenge. Hope you enjoyed the meal!

Nice movement! My eyes go right down those stairs and on to the field. Good use of DOF and the conversion really works for me.

I have a soft spot for seat photos and I really like the lines and quirkiness in yours (quirkiness from some seats being up and others down). Clearly it's post game! Nice composition.

I found myself waiting for the rest of the image to load - so visually I wanted the flag to not be cut off. I can't *see* a linke between your title and the image. I like the diferent perspective on the score board and it meets the "after the game" feel.

The tone of this image feels murky to me (vs. warm). I like the perspective and the arrangment of the pieces. The eye is drawn directly to the felled black king. Alas, I feel the challenge intended to be a *sports* venue (athletic game) not the broader game.

I like the conversionation - dramatic. The shadows show the lateness of the day which adds to the sense of "after the game." The compostion of the bat, ball and glove is nice.

Last Game of the Season

I've seen a few "locked gate" photos in the challenge (about 60% through) and I really like yours. The lock draws the eye - the redness, sharp focus, line of the fence. I like the OOF background that still has readable "entrance", the team name etc - clearly a ticket booth type thing. Nice composition.
