Voted. Nice work.
It depends on how strict the judges are. I was trying to give you the edge. Since it is a ESPN site you could have had the logo in the background. (I Know cheap plug) but sometimes it works! I wish you had some fans in the background and maybe some cheerleaders biting there fingernails hoping the player makes the catch. you know add some drama. It would be nice if you had some light rain or drizzle. it also helps in hiding nay imperfections. The defensive player with his right foot on the ground with some water splashing upwards. You get the picture.
You defiantly have talent, My photo shops are maybe 25% as good as yours, I am more into the comedy factor not the quality factor.
You should join photo shop contest.com and send in your work to MOCA http://moca.virtual.museum/

Voted. Nice work.
..don't be so critical it's not too bad....Mouse is right about the smoke being a bit heavy and the Shadows seem off, but not a bad job...I have no trouble with the empty stadium..
the funny thing is that about 30 minutes before the shoot, it was raining LIKE CRAZY (this was taken last thursday)..and then as soon as i got onto the field, it stopped raining. you're right about the puddles and rain/drizzle - that would have been very sweet. i tried adding fans to the empty stadium, but it didn't look too good. i think i'm going to have to practice with that... i'm definitely using that stadium again (i paid $15 for a stock image lol)It depends on how strict the judges are.

also, if you look carefully behind the player catching the ball, you can see the ESPN logoi didn't want it to be overly visible, just something subtle...
and the link appears to be correct... this is the link i got when i voted: http://nielsencontests.com/T/1256362728604
thank you.
the shadows are not photoshopped, though - those are actual shadows.
and thanks for the heads up - i think i'll check that out...though from what i've seen on that site, they have some pretty crazy good photoshopers on there.
thanks anyways!
people that do this all the time want honest opinions they don't want pat on the backs all the time. They need to know how others feel. It's how they get better.
To be honest the contest looks rigged! The fist and second place photographers both have 300 plus votes, (no one has 300 friends and if they did,how are you going to get them all to vote?) they both have ties with ESPN .
and they are both are from NY? and they are both friends on facebook,?
Nigra please!

I actually like that there are no fans. It adds focus to the picture and the composition. I actually think it adds to the drama rather then takes away from it.
You're very welcome....not sure how you're so far down...I think yours is the best one of the bunch.
Stop being so ing critical!
Hey David what would be cool is to have one fan in the stadium and he is blind. (not to make fun of disability) but art shows all sides of life. It could be an irony type of art work. Like a painting of a man in room with stacks of porn a 50 gallon drum of hand lotion and no arms.
Just think the greatest catch ever in football and not seen by anyone.
Then again that is art and this is supposed to be photographs so I am not sure they allow you to modify them in anyway I hope he doesn't get disqualified.
