Great shot of the celebrations and that guy at the back really adds to the shot.

Don't know why but that line at the top of the wall and your picture frame seem to be conspiring to spoil it by drawing my attention.

Thanks :)

I love this shot because of the spectator, without him it would simply be a "Record Shot" in my eyes. Its quite rare to see a solitary spectator celebrating and it shows how much it meant to him, as well as obviously to the players. Plus I feel it balances the picture against the wicket keeper with his arms up too.

I know what you mean about that line, but I couldn't crop it out without it being framed to tight and couldn't reduce the shadow with curves without ruining the skin colours of the players and would rather not edit specific areas because then there would be an inbalance in shadows between that and the players' shadows.

Guess the downside of having good sunshine :lol:

just paint or clone it out - there's a nice consistent colour to work with.

Apart from that, great pic. Shame about the result :(
