Thanks for the almost unanimous advice. I still think this is the way I want it. The light and dark zones are nicely distributed and form a pleasing composition. The soccer event on top adds extra movement in the image. This photo also reveals that my interest for graphics and the vegetal world has never been overshadowed by a passion for sports.
I really like your idea of taking the picture from behind the net, however I feel that the bottom half of the picture is not needed. I feel that if you cropped the picture from the shadow line just below the net, it would bring the viewers eyes to the football game. In this case because the shadow below the net is a darker contrast than the subject, the eye is drawn to the shadow.
I like this shot a lot. I'm not sure why you choose to put SO much space in the front, I think this actually could have been very effective as a wide short shot. Great action here, it's almost like a whole story book, lots of stuff happening, I almost wonder if there isn't too much. Very effective in black and white! For some reason I just really like the unique look to this shot. -8-
I like the idea of this. I would like to see this cropped higher up, eliminating two thirds of the grass - abouth where the darker grass starts. I like the photo but my eye is drawn more to the contrasts in the grass color than the net. perhaps I am the only one who feels that way though:)
It´s a good idea, but for me there are a lot of grass in the picture and the goal-net is too small... But just an opinion. For the rest, it´s a beatiful shot. I think it was a good choice to do it in B&W...7
would like to see this cropped higher, maybe about where the shadow changes the color of the grass. so that 2/3 of the frame is net, instead of 2/3 being grass. right now the eye is drawn to the strong horizontal of the shade on the grass, not to the soccer game.
Fantastic perspective but way too much negative space. Focus through the net was difficult I am sure. You needed to trick your camera or go to manuel focus. Why black and white?
Great picture, very creative and imaginative. Wonderful composition. Levels of contrast and range of tones just right. Good textures. My favourite and only 10 this challenge.
