Judges’ Comments
– I enjoy the mood of this image. Great use of available light. Capturing the focused expression allows for a great story to be told within the image. In many cases noise can detract from an image, in this case I think it adds to the overall mood.
– This image reveals a moment, and shows some tension. I love the color scheme–the green fluorescents really reveal the character of the settings. The repeated pattern of lights overhead is excellent, as is the depth. It’d be nice if it was straightened, though 😉
– Like the vintage feel 🙂
– Like the mood of this photo. Would like to see what the player is looking at. Putting the shooter more to the left of the frame would make this a stronger composition. Then again, you get what you get sometimes.
Sandy’s Comments
“This was taken after a PAC meet-up we had at the Bass Pro Shop. I was walking around the shopping center after we left the shop and saw this bar with a glass front, a couldn’t resist trying out a high ISO shot. Yep-stalking pool players now LOL! Later added a tint using Lightroom.”
Congratulations, again, Sandy!!!
