    Chuffed to get an Honourable mention. :) Love the POTW. It's a cracker, as are the other images. Well done all.

    No way! I'm absolutely delighted to get my first honourable mention, especially with the quality of everyone's photos and the outstanding POTW. Thanks everyone and well done all.

    I like the slight optical illusion in the winning shot, wherein the stadium, contrasted against the houses, looks like it might be much smaller than it actually is.

    Thanks everyone. I would quip that the competition must have been lousy this week for me to win but all of the Honourable Mentions are fantastic, especially bldwalsh's. Well done all.

    Just to give a bit more information about the shot - it's a stitched panorama of 10 images; the full size file is huge and it looks quite good printed big. I wasn't sure if it would have the same impact at only 800px wide so I'm surprised and delighted it's gone down so well in these parts.

    Getting the exposure right was hard - normally at dusk you can get the ambient light in the sky and the artificial lights in the buildings to balance out if you time it right but those floodlights are seriously bright! Left with having to expose in such as way as not to blow out the highlights in the stadium lights, I really had to pull the shadows in Lightroom to get any detail in the cottages below to come out. I tried using a grad filter but it rendered the sky black, which I didn't want. The full sized file is quite noisy but down-sampled for web and print it comes out OK.

    Thanks again everyone!

    Nice one :) Mine was shot using Instagram on an Iphone5, HDR on and no filter IIRC.
