I took this photograph to submit in the "Team sports without players" challenge. I thought it suited the challenge well. I cropped one photo to show the boots, and one without the boots, like so: [DELETED]
The one with the boots in looked much nicer to me, but I was afraid that it would attract a lot of DNMC comments. Can you help me for future reference with answers to two questions:
a) Would the shoes have been acceptable or not, and
b) Which one would have been the better photo/ major errors or shortcomings.
In the end I submitted an entry for the straight Sports challenge.
Thanks.

The images don't open into something bigger so it is hard to tell from the tiny thumb nail.

I personally like both pictures. I am new to dpc and don't know if anyone else would have given you a 'dnmc' for the bottom one because yes feet count and as having a player in but their shadows maybe not. You can see the players but they are not physically there. I like the feet iin the picture better because otherwise I don't like the crop because it is too long and narrow. Interesting shot though.

| I don't think I would have voted it as a dnmc but I would have scored it low. The angle is a bit weird and the shadows are distracting. Personally I think this is just far too busy of a shot. I think if you could have gotten down low and shot along the line of the fence with a shallow depth of field and made sure there were no shadows of the players, that would be pretty good. As it is I would give it a 3 or 4. |

Pretty much the same from. May even have given either of them a 1 because the feet would be people and the shadows to me would also be people.
