    Nice work like the vibrant yellow, repeating lines/patterns all contrasting w/ the darkness gives this pic a nice abstract look-well done!

  • Hi Ron, thanks for the comments and the fave. I work at this venue so have lots of opportunity to take some shots. cheers DD

    they use grow lights? are there patches where the lights don’t hit and the grass is less lush? do all big venues use grow lights? it’s a great shot – so vivid! the G: what a place to work!

  • Hi mellychan. Thanks for the comment. The lights are needed during winter months on the northern side of the ground. The shadow from the members stand prevents good growing. Not all stadiums use this method. Yes it is a special place to work. Cheers DD
