High Strike Mash

This high strike was hit hard and low for an RBI double. It's not

often that you get just the right sun angle to really light up the

player's faces, so I was happy to get this shot at the point of

impact. Comments and suggestions always appreciated.

nice image! it takes a lot of time & patience to land a shot like this. well done!

This is a really great shot. The expression on the player's face captures the moment (although it's too bad they play with the 'mask' helmets on :) not your fault but it would be great to see everything).

Hi Eliza,

 

Thanks for taking the time post your kind words. Though I agree that photographically the mask is a hindrance, I've seen more than a few teeth (noses, etc.) saved by them. The main governing body of softball in the USA, the ASA, requires them for all players. I don't believe they are required (at least yet) in college.

 

Thanks again!
