Hello Everyone,

With so much recent interest in the European Cup, I thought I would post shots on this same popular theme.

Showing footballers with the same potential skills as the big international players, these shots were taken at the recreation ground in the village where I live.

The shots are of the same footballer, taken at different angles. For those of you not familiar with such passionate contests ... here is the chant you need to employ. "Come on, Trawden Celtic!"

Many thanks for stopping by.
Please feel free to offer feedback on any aspect of the photograph.
Bev :-)

Camera hand held.
pp prepared blank canvas, added b/g, copied and pasted photographs which had all been sharpened & brightness & contrast adj, used eliptical marque tool, filled, added text & signed.
I must admit, the shrinking of the photographs has somewhat affected the detail.

I like how you have framed the players with that colourful border, Bev. It is a good way of showing the photos without the lines going through them and showing uneven backgrounds.
Good action shots too.
Well done
Janice

hello Bev,
well honed PP skills have made an attractive presentation and good posting for this theme. I have yet to discipline myself to learn these skills (although I have lots of "How to" Cds gleaned from photo mags).

Hello Bev,

A fine compilation of images - I like the way the composition of each of the three images interacts with the others, and with the well chosen BG.

I can only just about get three images on to the same BG, but thanks to your clear explanation, I think I might be able to do better with my effort next time. It's a bit like cooking - not that I'm any good at that either! - you have to get all your ingredients together to start with, and then assemble them in the right order!

Regards,

Peter.

HIya Bev

Oh this is really excellent, the three images almost give a story board effect. Nice sharp images with good detail and lovely framing. Perfect compo for the theme

TFS and for joining in the theme

Very good collage Bev. The colour in the individual images if good and the action frozen well. After pasting your images and resizing try another sharpen, it sometimes brings the detail back.

Hi Beverley,
Straight out of the village gazette sports section eh?
The lad sure looks like he knows the game, and your timing is right on the money too.
Well done, and well presented.
Pete.

Hi Beverley,
I can sense the intensity and focus of the footballers. Exposure is good in these action shots. Best regards, Danilo

Haha, okay then - Come on, Trawden Celtic!

Lovely idea Bev, must say I love that one can shout when attending a football match.
We both have worked for an international company and Ad played cricket. But somehow I never got the feeling of involvement, because of the restrained reactions ^-^.

About the resizing, I also had some trouble and then got the advice to resize in steps like width 3500 - 2800 - 2100 ----- and why it works I don't know, but the result is better.
