wow... very high marks from me.

the only thin I can critique is the lack of shadow depth throughout the image. in the top portion of the photo, the stairs have a nice shadow under them... if that could have carried through to the bottom it would have really popped. however, it's a fantastic image none-the-less. still an amazing capture.

Very nice! High marks for composition and relevance on this one.

Thanks for the comments. @dextr, your observation about the shadow depth is interesting. This was shot with a 200mm lens from across the field from these bleachers, and the steps at the top are at a different angle from the lens than the ones nearer to the bottom of the frame. So I guess you are actually looking at a larger portion of the underside of those steps near the top, and therefore seeing more of the shadow. Also, upon closer observation..after I read your comment and wondered about this...there is a noticeable break in the construction of the concrete foundation right around where the change in shadow starts to get really pronounced. So I wonder if the dimensions/angls between the seating surfaces and the concrete foundation are slightly different in the upper sections of this stadium vs. the lower ones...and maybe that accounts for the difference in the shadows too.

This is very good. I hope it gets featured

Dead spot on. The shadow differential is natural and expected, so not distracting to me. Has the feel of an Aztec temple.
