 This is a junior high school boys lacrosse practice.

In RAW mode, I made some changes. I changed the white balance to Daylight, the exposure to -0.15, blacks to 13, brightness to +61 and contrast to -1. The clarity was changed to +96 and vibrance to +87. I did not make any other changes in Photoshop.

I was trying to take a sports photo from an unusual perspective with the white painted field line as my subject, not the players. I lay down on the edge of the field to take the picture.

I wouldn't mind the blurred figures in the background if I could tell what they were doing.

I know many will complain that subjects are out of focus here. But that to me is intentional (right?) and is the essence of this image. I also love the fringe in the top right corner, and the partly-in-focus grass patch. Well done! 8/10.

nice idea, but seriously, i have no idea what you're after here. it's almost like someone left a camera on the ground and someone else kicked it...
