If Joel Meyerowitz shot photos of Norman Rockwell scenes, they would look like this, I think. Good job! I really like it. Did you use some kind of filter? (I don't understand the technical information in that little box.)

I really like how the activity surrounding the game, and the town backdrop, is the subject, rather than the game itself. Nice exposure of sky and field lights. Wow, there are a lot of spectators for a presumably small town! I wonder if standing a bit higher (e.g., on a car hood) would help de-emphasize the car parked front and center?

This needs more of a subject.

I love the dynamic range here. You nailed the exposure

I think the shot is too busy, maybe you could have tried to get just the game and the croud from a higher perspective, because the cars and the guys at the bottom are really distracting for me. The colors are really beautiful, and you did a nice job adding the sky to your image, it gave a nice touch and justifyed the "summer" on the tittle. Good luck, sorry if i was rude.
