 I went to the local soccer field precisely to take photographs for this challenge. A game was in progress when I arrived - it proved to be a very exciting and heated game. Just before halftime, two fights broke out. Naturally, I submitted one of the fight scenes (the second fight) rather than the game. I thought that this would be more interesting.

Contrast, curves, resize and unsharp mask.

Way to capture the moment! Other than the fight, I didn't feel that the photo was outstanding.

nice photo though possibly look at cropping out the last person on the left or cropping the bottom of the image (or something along those lines) so that the red marker in the bottom left cant be seen - because the players have bright red and the marker is bright red then the marker draws attention away from the main focus

Team sport not teamwork right? A team is a team and you've got to work with what you have. The trick is to not get too many black eyes. String accross the bottom front ruines the lower part of the photo and should be edited out. Emotional, aggresive, surprise, indifference and mediating. Great story photo. Thanks.
