Even though the rest of us guys were supposedly at play, our umpire and her compatriots were perspiring on the job.
Cropped, tone curve, very mild sharpening, thin border to save disk space. With the busy detail of the fence and the rather square aspect, I had to take this to level 6 (of 10) JPEG compression to get it to 147k.

Not sure if this shot captures people doing what they do to "make a living". But I'll assume they are. My critique is that the fence is in focus, and the subjects behind the fence are not. Good time to switch to manual focus if you can. Also, an "action" shot of the game in progress might have made for a more interesting picture.
