Just my observations - take what you need and bin the rest... Kinda doesn't meet the challenge for me... without the title there'd be no indication that a sporting event had taken place... as it's a victory celebration maybe you could have included a trophy of some kind within the image.. or a baseball glove etc.(?)
I've held off on voting on this for a couple days now trying to decide if a picture can meet challenge simply by the title. It is a good picture, albeit a little dark for my preference and the floating highlight in the upper-left quadrant is a little distracting. If there was something sports, or even game, related in the shot, I would have scored higher, probably a 6 or a 7, but after voting on everything else, I just can't bring myself to do it. 4
oh that's tough lighting - I think a little ambient light to give definition to the dark areas would be helpful. Nice creative take on the challenge! 7
Meets Challenge: 1 (sorry, the image title isn't going to make this one fit the challenge theme)
Lighting/Processing: 4
Composition: 6
Overall Impression: 3
"WOW" factor: 1
A good moody feel with the lighting and the composition is good as the table seems to form a "V" to pull my eye to the candle in the middle. I'd give this a 6 or 7 normally but as the challenge said "photograph a sporting venue after the game is over" and there is no indication the table was the venue DNMC=3
interesting concept but I thought it was suppose to be a shot of a venue after a sporting event. NOW, had you taked a photo of messy plates and food scattered here and there then perhaps it would have been after a "eating" competition and the table would have been your venue.
While the title tries to lead the viewer that this has met the challenge,
the challenge says to photograph a sporting venue. Fine dining just doesn't cut it as a sporting event for me. 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 :-)
