Cricket Photo of the Year

Whilst at Lord's for the county one day final we took the opportunity to have a wander around the ground.

I found inspiration looking at a large display of the winners on the Wisden/MCC Cricket Photo of the Year award.

Here is a shot of an MCC member walking past the winning photo, seemingly oblivious to it.

I think I might enter this competition next year, I have a few good cricket shots (among thousands!!)

We had a great day out with 24 friends from our cricket club, of the 4th year running I have arranged the trip and kids and adults alike have such a great day. It was fantastic to see Nottinghamshire, our local county, win the cup. A few action shots to follow.

Best viewed large to see the amazing winning photo!!

I can see why it won, super shot and I like the contrast between the athleticism of the cricketer and the shuffling steps of the older gentleman.

[Andy Roe]

One could imagine this chap turning out to be 'Blowers' or in the past 'John Arlott'. Super street photography.

Brilliant shot - love it and well done to Notts - well deserved

[Ivan]

Well captured - MCC, they're something else!

[Ross Walker]

Great eye! Adding the pedestrian to the scene makes all the difference.

[Raye]

Cool capture! Awesome shot!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

I agree with @paulaw about the contrast between the two figures. Nice timing and capture.
Well done Mr. Au-yeung too, that image is quite something!
And congratulations to Notts.

Great winning shot and you have balanced the composition very well in your image.

Wow -- that's an incredible photo for the competition and I like the way you set a context to show it off. But something is sad that this guy is walking by something so amazing and is oblivious to it.
