I'm curious... Is this a single, 'straight' exposure?

I like the B&W photo and the crop you used. Makes the photo more unique.

My photo of the day is a fire truck, I received it as a christmas present many years ago. Have only used it once tho (it works with gasoline). Now I only have it on one of the shelves at my room as decoration.

Fade into dark, turn around, move right.

Doylem: and again, wonderful colours. The contrast between the relaxing hills and strong clouds works well.

I like that depth of focus... players are crisp and stand out. Generally I like horizons to be level although it works for me in your image... is that a rainbow or lens flare of some kind? I like the effect anyhow.

Thanks. Yes thats a rainbow in the sky. I'm glad I was able to get it in the photo because I was just staring at the rainbow and sky the whole time just wanting to take pictures of that instead of the football players! lol

I think if you pushed your exposure up at least a good 1/2 stop and straightened the horizon it'd be a great picture. I am unsure what the crooked horizon does for the photo but it is a wonderful photo with the rainbow behind and all. What lens were you using? It looks tack sharp.

Yea I was actually laying down on the ground with the camera and snapped the shot. When I uploaded it onto our server I found out the horizon was slanted :-/. But I still liked it! lol Mmmm to be honest I don't remember what lens I was using. I just know I used our Mach II camera.

Shot this yesterday while constructing a cabinet outside. I was hurrying to finish before the storm came, but I just had to stop and take a few pics, the sky looked too good to just watch
