37th place. You were robbed.
I loved this shot. It is well taken, the lighting is spot on and it is a unique idea.
Should have scored higher in my hummble opinion.
Keep up the good work.

Yes, this IS creative! Hopefully people really LOOK at this photo, because it is very well done. You've got the pushpins in at various levels, and have a perfect tilt on both the Kicker and the Keeper. Very well done!

Wonderful idea, very well executed. Only detail that bothers me: I thought it was Beckham, not Backham? Or is that an inside joke? 9

Absolutely brilliant. The reflections make for a very surreal image, and varying the pin heights and angles makes this more than just a chalk talk. Shallow DOF gives the impression of space even on such a small "field."

Quirky idea, is Beckham deliberately misspelt?

The red pins are not covering their privates like players should :) Just jokin' nice little idea.

cute! I was trying for a similar idea but couldn't come up with one. great details in the setup of the pins "jumping", etc. And technically, a strong shot too. A real contender. I wish the ball were more visible.

this is unquestionable a beautiful image. in my opinion, the meeting the challenge aspect is a bit stretched (even with your title taken into account). but in terms of photographic merits, this is a very lovely picture. it's sharp, in focus, colours are terrific - as is your timing with the sun behind the clouds and it's rays being clearly evident. could've been a winner in the silhouette challenge we had recently.

An alternative interpretation of the challenge! I see no reason why you shouldn't be allowed to do this. I hope you're not voted down for it.

I don't see multiple sources of light on this.
Great picture and idea, just not meeting the challenge.
Great symbolism, but alas, one one source of light actually depicted....
Stunning colors by the way - love the shot.
