Adjusted the contrast further, but mainly worked on the shadow. Thanks for the pointers Gary and David.

Improved?

    Yes, it looks better. Have you tried to give more light to the ground. I think it would be better.

    That's more like it! Now it looks believable to me. Good job!

    Thanks guys! Yeah I think it makes a fairly big difference, especially when you compare them side by side.

    Looks a bit far away from the goal mouth to me ...
    (also reminded me of this shot)

    I agree with PP - the player is too far from the goal. Also, there's about three different light sources each coming from a different directions (sun in sky, goal/field light direction, player lighting direction). Any photographer would immediately recognize this as a composite. A client, however, may not, and that's the most important, right?

    It's a very nice photo, but if your goal is to make this believable as a single exposure, it has a long way to go, to be honest. ne_nau.gif
