From the Recovery Room to the Record Books

Photo of the Day

Last December Adrian Peterson tore both his MCL and ACL ending his season. Some wondered if he would be effective at all this season. He has really shown what hard work can do for you as he has had a great season. That might be an understatement. He may end up breaking the single season rushing record this year. Some had written him off, but he has shown that you can’t write off ‘All Day.’

I took this photo in October of 2009 as Adrian and his Vikings were playing the Green Bay Packers. This is the first of two frames in a row that I shot. The second frame made the blog a couple of weeks ago. You can find that post here. I like Adrian better in the other photo, but I like the overall look of this shot better.

Technical Data

I applied Matt Kloskowski’s light desaturated sports preset to this shot. It really gave it a grungy feel that I really liked. After that all I did was a little shadow recovery so that I could see Adrian’s face. This was another easy shot to edit.
