Empty Seats Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I took this shot at Murrayfield which is the stadium used by the Scotland rugby team. It was taken before the Scotland - South Africa match that was part of the 2008 autumn test series.

The match was won 14-10 by South Africa. However, it was the best Scotland performance I had seen for a long time.

Reposted due to resolution problems.

The shot shows rows of empty seats. This is now a common sight at Murrayfield. The Scottish team has not had many victories and this has lead to poor attendances.

The idea is very good, and the composition is very accurate.
It's a pity that the quality is rather poor.

Hello, Scott.

This is a lot better - it's bigger for one thing! But it's still only 185Kb - you can go right up to 300Kb.

I'm not sure if the original picture was terribly sharp - I've done a wee workshop for you to increase the contrast and saturation a little then added a little sharpening - see what you think!

Kind Regards,

John.
