Really like this picture - strong composition and effective lighting.
err.. but should it have been entered in the 'Boteh' Challenge?
(I think it would have done well there too!)
I like this image a lot and suspect it was meant for the bokey challenge???? The straw/paper in front of the scarecrow's (looks mroe liek a witch to me) eye is very distracting. I like the pumpkin shaped lights in the background. Nice composition.
looks like a great entry for the bokeh challenge. If we consider trick or treating a sport, then this could also work here. I'm saying it's a sport as when I was a kid we competed to see who got the most candy. :)
Oh dear, oh dear. I have an idea that you entered this in the wrong Challenge. It has nice bokeh, but just doesn't have anything to do with sports and sports venues.
It's so good and so cute. I'm gonna give you high marks for trying!
Meets Challenge: 1 (this is the after the game challenge not after trick-or-treating) ;-)
Lighting/Processing: 4
Composition: 6
Overall Impression: 4
"WOW" factor: 2
Sorry, but I can't see where this meetis the challenge. What's the game? Nice picture, though. I really like the lights on the pumpkin in the background.
Well, I like the bokeh and DOF regarding the pumpkin. The scarecrow has nice color but the corn husk in front of the face really takes away from it. On the image itself, I'd give it a 6, but unfortunately, it really does not meet the challenge in my opinion (DNMC).
Details: Your challenge this week is deceptively simple: photograph a sporting venue after the game is over and the players and people have gone home :-)
Personally I would have entered this in Bokeh, I bet it would have scored higher than mine. I think it's actually quite clever, what with the pumpkin and all. There's no "halloween" themeatic challenge (yet) but maybe you could do a reshoot of this if one turns up.
I give this 6, as if it were in Bokeh. Which it's not, but we both know that.
Uh oh, I suspect you meant to be in "bokeh" :( I like the shot, and my only suggestion would be to have moved the piece of raffia across its face. Too bad it won't get the score it should, since it DNMC in this challenge :(
