Had no intention of entering this challenge but passed by a baseball diamond with my camera and my IR filter at the ready, so here it is. Unfortunately I just got the IR filter so I need to learn how to adjust focus since IR focuses differently than visible light.

Just my observations - take what you need and bin the rest...
Love the cloud formation - esp the angry looking cloud centre top which gives the composition a sense of movement... kinda feels lacking in dynamics though - a flat and unexciting foreground with nothing happening on the skyline.
Also don't get a feel for 'after the game' - there's some kind of netting structure there but I can't figure what it is (though if it's something like baseball or the like it might be more obvious to an American viewer - so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that). :)

interesting shot, not that much in the theme, though.

Good sky, but what is the sport/game?
10/27/2006 09:30:05 PM
Looks more like a lake than a sport venue like a golf course. Nice tree line.

great shot, but the sky takes away from the field too much !

I'm not quite sure about this image meeting the challenge. I think it's a nice image for a different challenge topic but as it is, I don't see a connection.

At first glance this picture doesn't appear to be related to the challenge. It does appear that there is a ball diamond in the picture but its really hard to tell that.

I can't tell what the subject is, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and guess it is a golf course. Not a bad shot, but the sky dominates so much it detracts from the subject. Compared to the sky, though, the foreground feels muddy, which further reduces the impact of what (I think) the subject is.

Really dark on my end, I have checked on 2 different monitors, and it still is very hard to see what I am looking at.

Pretty sky, although I'm not sure why this is B/W as I'd imagine it's spectactular in color. As for the challenge...how is this connected to the theme? What/where is the game/sport? Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but you do usually only get a second or two from most voters to make your impression. Good luck.

You know this sky is awesome, but I'm not crazy for the crop. The lower half is uninteresting. I do like the tones.

beautiful landscape. Sports?
10/25/2006 03:40:26 PM
nice photo, I don't see the game or remnants, or hints of one

Beautiful sky. I can't tell what the game was. I'm curious as to why you chose black and white. It looks like this would have been beautiful in color.
10/25/2006 02:04:42 PM
a bit fuzzy, but otherwise ok

I'll see your field with trees in, and raise you a sporting venue.
10/25/2006 11:49:26 AM
Is this a sporting venue?
10/25/2006 05:57:54 AM
I'm not sure if I'm looking at a regular landscape or a landscape of a golf course (the latter of which would meet the challenge). the photo is too dark IMO.

Although this could be some type of a sports field, there's nothing in this image that proves that to me.
10/24/2006 08:28:36 PM
What sporting venue is that? I miss it.
