I like the black to yellow background. Goes well with the Steelers theme of the triptych. Should have scored higher. Especially higher than those who only framed in several areas of a single photo. excellent job with sharpness, color and compositionn. Go STEELERS!

7 - Good use of triptych to show a 'story' and 'feel'. Criticism; the green/yellow tint to the frame detracts in my opinion, perhaps a little darker would have looked better/enhanced the shots, especially the 3rd, more. Cropping half the flag in the first is 'not good', the perspectives and crops for 2/3 I think work well. Good coloring(s) in all, and all complement each other and there is good 'flow', not just with the color from frame to frame. Up to 7 from 6, I really like the concept and - well done if the idea is original. I just wish... that flag were not 'chopped'.

Hmmm, lets see I'm from Cleveland..should I let my loyalties judge this? Actually I like it...even if it is from Pittsburgh. I like the way the shots run diagonally, and the colors all work very well together. I may have cropped some from the bottom of the left hand shot and added to the top so the flag wasn't cut off.

Nice series of images. I am finding the flag, since it has been chopped off a little distracting in the first frame. A little more or a little less might have been better.

I like the yellows and reds. Your use of color really ties the images together.

Really nice shots (Alan?). I think I'd prefer the stadium seats in the middle because it feels a little heavier than the other two, but it's hard to say without seeing it. Maybe the symmetry of the guy makes him a better middle.

i love it, but not so much with the border, it takes away from the pictures. 6

Great shots, the photos definitely fit together well to create an over sense of "pre-game".

Cool images! Not sure I like the green border too much. Can't wait for the game though!

mmmmmm a ketchup stadium :-)
Just kidding!
Three very good images that the small size doesn't really do justice.
But they do work well together.
good luck.

The yellow frame would have been a bit better in the center, I think; it seems to throw the series off-balance, being off on the right. Well-done, though.

I really like this. It's different. Not a flower or a sunset. Nice!! Great clarity and vivid coloration. I like how the canvas and dividers have a gradation of dark to light as you go from top to bottom. 8
