What IS that? Way too wide for a football goal. Superb tones, especially on the metal - how did you achieve this?

@Henry Zhang: For the tones I used NIK color efex pro 2.0 choosing "paper tone". Then followed up with decreasing the saturation in PS until I reached the desired tonal quality.

you love color efex pro don't you ;] this is wonderfully done. the contrast is what makes the picture here. nice shot.

@Kelvin Chan: Thanks. Yes, I do love the NIK products. I also use Dfine 1.0 as my noise reduction tool. Their sharpening tool is supposedly the best in the business. They aren't cheap though. One does have to be careful, however in using it judiciously and with as much skill as possible. Over-processing is always a pitfall with this type of program. :-)

Very dark, and interesting composition.

It's good!! Great shot Craig, the symetrical balance makes this a great composition, and it contrasts well with the fluffyness and 'randomness' of the cloud's shape. Excellent.
