Impact

As the ball and bat meet. Interested in comments. This photo is

unaltered other than cropping and resizing for the web.

John, this is well done. Nice sharp image. I would suggest leaving some space on the right to give it some "travelling room."

Great shot! I agree with Dennis on the cropping, but otherwise a really good job.

I think sometimes folks don't realize how perfect your timing has to be to catch a ball on a bat like that. Personally, I love the tight crop. I always like it better if somehow you can see the hitter's face, but that doesn't always work out.

Excellent capture.

 

I don't normally get very many comments so thank you! This was cropped the same way the newspaper here would have croppped it. I wish I had been at a different angle to also get the more of the batters face but that wasn't possible at that point.

Thanks everyone for your comments!

Nice timing, John. You can't get any better than that in my estimation. I like your clear focus and chosen DOF. Well done.

 

Looks even better here than it did on PR John. Great timing and the exposure and focus are dead on. You should think about doing this for a living.
