OK this will tank, but there ARE multiple light sources ;). Obviously this would be more effective if they were switched on but the deadline was looming.

Hi from the Critique Club... Anything I say cannot be used agains me :)

First, I think you addressed and answered the reason your photo placed on the lower end of the scale. If the lights had been on then the score would have jumped several notches. DPC voters, myself included need slapped on the face to 'get it'.

Personally, I like the picture, its a very moody/dark sky and has a real feeling of desertion or emptiness. Not the normal view of a stadium. I like the receding view of the light standards.

Technically you did a good job. exposure is well controlled, BW is perfect for the subject, and composition/cropping is effective. No need to suggest change for change sake.

Sometimes out of the box works for high scores, mostly it doesn't. Just keep making pictures that you like. Oh, and posthumous gave you a 7 which is always a good thing!

MAjestic; could have a bit more subject and be a bit less robotic; but I dig the sky texture and the light behind the fog.

Interesting variation: potentially multiple light sources

I love this, it's almost eerie because it's a seemingly deserted area that would usually be filled with screaming fans & football heroes.

too bad they're no turned on, really limits the light to a singular, solar scource, doesn't it?

I think these are potential multiple light sources.

Composition is not exciting. But you have a great moody sky.
The 'multiple light source' wasn't obvious to me, Took me quite a few min to actually 'see' it. I take the description to be USE of multiple light sources not the fixtures themselves. Thats thinking outside the box even though the concept is obvious as all get out! 8) If these floodlamps are on, you can't tell it here.
