Review

  •  Weak support The overall lightning is rather unfortunate, it would have been more interesting if the photo had been taken at another time of day where the tribune was less in shadow. Also, there are some distracting branches in the foreground to the lower right which partially obstructs the view of the stadium. So the critrion about illustrating the scope well is a somewhat weak spot, but other criteria are certainly met. And now I have read about an abandoned rugby stadium in Wagga, Wagga. Interesting. Odss are i would never have done that if i had not reveiwed your image. I like the whole mood of decay and abondonedness in the photo, by the way, but that is just a fringe benefit from reviewing it. -- Slaunger (talk) 11:04, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I am spoiling you, I added heading information to the photo. Normally, I would have asked you to do it.-- Slaunger (talk) 11:09, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Best time of the day (Unless I wait for Summer when the sun moves further south so I can get a morning shot but then there is the risk of the oval being developed) at the time as in the morning and midday the sun would be shining into the camera :(. Best place I could get the photo due to a fence being in my way, as I would have liked to take the image away from that flowering plum tree. I've been thinking about a week or so the pros and cons before listing and have tried the morning and midday shots but didn't work out as well as this one. BTW thanks for adding the heading, Never knew about it until now! :) Bidgee (talk) 11:17, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      (ec) OK, It seems like you have actually given both the lightning and position some consideration. It seemed a little random, but I trust you have actualy done it as well as possible within reasonable limits. It was interesting to see on the map that it is in the middle of a town. From looking at the photo one gets the impression of being in a very deserted area. Seems like it is one of the last chances to get an opportunity to photograph this stadium. -- Slaunger (talk) 11:23, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
