Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Waiting II (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D300s
Lens: Sigma 100-300mm F/4.0 EX IF HSM for Nikon
Location: Melbourne Cricket Ground
Date: Apr 5, 2010
Galleries: Sports, Action
Date Uploaded: Apr 5, 2010

 The Image: My team (Hawthorn - wearing brown and gold) lost by a narrow margin in a great game before 68,000 people. I love taking my camera to the game.

The Edit: Levels, Topaz adjust for detail, sharpening...that's it. I know it has a HDR look that usually I don't like, but I like it here as you can see the crowd really anticipating what's about to happen.

The prediction: 5.9875

Great action stop, must have been quite a high shutter.

They certainly are...
Less saturation and balancing out the cyan tint would enhance your image.

Nice action shot, perhaps too much action for a "waiting" shot. Skin tones look strange to me. Otherwise this is a very nice image. Good catch.
