Awesome capture. Perfect in B&W. The sky is ominous indeed.

That is just plain awesome. I really love the b/w captures.

Great capture!

Another nice B and W. Do you shoot in Raw?

[kenyc]

Love it! You've definitely emphasized who/what is in command. Did you manipulate the highlighting on the field? It's perfect.

Martin, I cannot think of any other words to describe your works. Whether B&Ws or macros, they are just simple incredible. Excellent! Do you mind if I ask how long you're in photography? Your works inspired me a lot. Thanks for sharing your great shots!

Nice work mate, well framed shot and the B&W definitely adds to this pic.

Agree with Leo. I also would like to know how long have you been into photography. You are obviously a well established photographer.

That is simply the most interesting shot I have ever seen of a cricket match.
Just look at that sky.

[d'homme]

That is certainly one pic where the sky is the star of the show and not the people. Great shot. Dynamite in B&W.

Nicely done. Brilliant!!!

[andybuk99]

excellent result!!! the only thing i can think of to improve it would have been to mask the 4 trees on the left slightly tighter so when you were burning in the sky. that was the main giveaway of using ps

Yes, the halos around the tree tops.

Otherwise: I really like it! Other than the sport, it reminds me of the movie Field of Dreams. Funny seeing a playing field without any fences.

Great B&W conversion! I love the tones.

dammit martin. another corker!!
