Excellent job on the DOF. Great depiction of both the 'joy of victory and the agony of defeat'. One of my favorites for this challenge.

Ah well - maybe he'll get another world cup winner's medal, which Samuel Eto'o won't, cos his country didn't qualify.
I'll give it 10, out of pure patriotic bias. Oh, and because I can see the pain and disappointment without having to read it in the title or in text on the picture.

Your subject definately looks defeated. Cropping some of the green on the bottom may have brought more attention to your subject.

Out of focus and does not really communicates failure (or even defeat).5.

Nice composition and exposure. I get more of a tired sense than I do of failure. I think that if the happy guy running were a bit closer, the failure would be more obvious. He almost blends right into the crowd.

out of focus a lil

oh man... nice capture, I like the composition, you did a nice job making the one player seem all alone defeated while the other is running toward crowd cheering, I would have liked a sharper focus on the guy in the foreground, but nice colors and pic overall

Would have liked the photo to be a little sharper, but still a good shot.

Jubilation and sorrow, fits the challenge well....9

If this was focused on Henry? or whom ever the Arsenal player is and was a little lower it would have been a brilliant shot i think. Still good win for Barca :-)

Would have rated higher but the lack of focus/depth detracts for me.

Oh man! That is so sweet! Great seeing a arsenal player sitting there pouting... I love it

Fantastic photo. I would of given it a 9 but it's slightly out of focus.
But with the Barca player celebrating in the back it's composed perfectly.

Fantastic shot, could have been so much better though.

Wonderful catch! 10
