Took this at the first AFL footy game my team (Hawthorn) played this season. I am not sure how it will be received as the acronym is made up like all acronyms are. But the phrase is known in sports, so what the heck, I thought I would give it a go!
The players certainly have the look of concentration and eyes on the football.
I basically did a couple of layers, one with a mask for the ball which I wanted to be the centrepiece. USM, Noise Ninja (shot at ISO 1100 because the game was under lights at twilight). Curves, levels, and then a photo filter to give it some punch.
Overall, I like the composition. I had a couple of other great shots, but this one seemed to fit the challenge best for me.
6.2???
POST: Why didn't I just title it KYEOTB??? What was I thinking with that title? You live and learn I guess. Either way, I guess it got what it deserved |

Great image, but wish you would have kept with the challenge rules and just put the acronym in the title. |

Great action shot - nice novel for a title. The desat works very well here to isolate the ball. Too bad you had to describe your acronym in the title, with this photo it may have been deciphered without the description. Maybe shortened some to KYEOTB? Regardless, good luck in the challenge. |

Very nice capture and I like the yellow highlights but TOVLAAAJITCTADNMC - That's One Very Long And Arbitrary Acronym Jammed Into The Challenge To Avoid DNMC. |

From the challenge: Title your image with your chosen acronym, and let your image explain what the letters represent!
As such you shouldn't put in your title what the letters mean. Thats what the picture was supposed to do. |

I probably would not have been able to figure this out without the title |

Seems like quite a leap to be an acronym, certainly hard to pronounce :-) But I really like the picture and the way the ball alone was colored. |
