i think if you have made this 2 stops down the lights will be less blown out. good use of negative space but zooming in on the bleacher or goal would have emphasized more the fog. my 2 cents. 8
Good concept, pretty well executed. If it had been me, I would probably have cropped in a bit, maybe doing portrait mode to get the rightmost two lights, bleachers, and some of the grass. As it is, the brightness of the lights keep my eyes so high, I almost miss the beautifully lit fog.
One of my favorites of the challenge. The technical police will probably poo-poo your blown highlights but I love them. The fog is great, the composition is good, and the atmosphere is very cool. Good job and good luck. :)
Very strong image. A graduated ND filter might have allowed you to get the fog exposed as you did without blowing out the lights so much, but I kind of like them blown out like that. They look like big lollypops and give this a very playful nature which I think is appropriate to the theme of the game.
Interesting concept and well done. But I can't keep looking much at the image (as I'd like to) as those blown up lights are quite obfuscating - they really hurt the eyes.
