kirt1 0 Posted August 12, 2006 This was a pop-up behind 2nd base. Shortstop ran and then made an all-out dive to catch the ball. This shot, due to focal length, distorts how far she actually had to stretch out to get the ball. I debated a lot over how to crop this. If there is interest, I'll post the uncropped version and you can take a look for yourself. Comments about that or any other aspect of the shot are welcome. Thanks. Link to comment
b_turner 0 Posted August 12, 2006 Kirt - Nice capture! Seems a bit washed out though to me, perhaps a little tweaking of the contrast and/or tonal range would give this a little more color dynamic. - brent Link to comment
garydad 0 Posted August 12, 2006 Love it! You did a great job stopping the action and the facial expression is priceless. Link to comment
michaelging 1 Posted August 12, 2006 I agree this is a great shot. You have a perfect timing and a great expression.Our paper would run this on a sports cover in a sec. Link to comment
bens 0 Posted August 12, 2006 I think its cropped well as is, like the color saturation, and of course the moment. This is very hard to do, having tried shooting softball a number of times, to get a moment like this with a telephoto, and to do so in bright sun conditions. Nicely done. Link to comment

kirt1 0 Posted August 20, 2006 At least the club meetings won't be crowded. :-) Seriously, thanks, but when it comes right down to it, I think any "talent" I might have is more a matter of repetition and perseverence than anything else. Link to comment
