Another great capture Wilson. JH

Excellent in all respects! Nice job, Wilson!

Crisp, clear, detailed, and wonderful action. I would have been tempted to gaussian blur the bg a bit but that's my only nit (no rhyme intended).

Okay, this is a really, really good action shot. How do you do it?

this is as good as it can get, Wilson, the advertisements in the back make a fantastic bg, dof being just right, I guess these Aquasox will praise you -

Great capture. I think it?s full of action and taken just in the right moment. Good composition, colours,... I like everything. Perhaps just a bit less depth of field? Anyway that doesn?t distract my attention.

Superb catch... was Metalica's Don't Tread On Me playing at the time :-)

 

Kung Fu baseball...

He was caught in a moment, before smashing his enemy to pieces... Wilson, second page of best rated photos with this picture, wow! Fully deserved, too!!

JIM: Thanks for your comment.

 

JOHN: Very glad a fellow baseball photog likes this.

 

KEN: Thanks, Ken. Sometimes, you got good rhyme . . . I agree with you about the background having shot this wide open with 80-200 f2.8 instead of 300 f2.8. Contemplated about blurring the background, but decided to keep the "unmanipulated" status for the entire AquaSox series for a journalistic value.

 

HOWARD: Thanks for your comment. How? By staying awake for the entire game with both eyes open. ^_^

 

ANDREA: Thanks, Andrea. If you notice, the flying shortstop coincides with "Funtasia" and the base runner is linked with "Everett Clinic."

 

ANDER: Thank you much for your feedback. Yes, I agree about the d.o.f. I'll have to stick more with a longer focal length next time.

 

STEPHEN: Thanks, Stephen. Now I have to do a search on that song!

 

VIP: Thanks. Appreciate your comment.

Too frggin' cool, Wilson.

 

Wilson, again, you're spending an awful lot of time at the ballgames....you have an "in" for tickets?

yes you're right -lol- life is "true"

I am amazed how You catch him of the floor and away from the background.

Wilson, this was the best sport action I've ever seen.

Great action shot .

wow. wow. bravoooooooooooo what action, what a capture of the Jump daer Wilson.

superb. brillant.

Congratulations!

 

and thank you :):):)

The DOF works well to minimize the impact of the busy background. You do a great job with these shots, Wilson. Reminds me of when I practiced my phototaking ability with my step-son's Little League team (many moons ago)...I know it's not easy!

Front page material!

No need to fly to France to capture the tensed features of a Lance Armstrong ...

I do not share your love, enthusiasm and passion for this game. However, you do capture some spectacular shots.

I am not a fan of sports shots, Wilson, but find this incredible for how you froze the two players. Really good work.

Wow- What a jump, and what a slide! Another perfectly timed shot! I wouldn't change a thing!

Perfect!

 

I just read the details. At F/2, the jumper must have been right above the slider to get them both in the that narrow focus. This makes it even more interesting! And then so sharp for a handheld, amazing!

Excellent action shot! Very good work!

Wilson, outstanding in every way. Cheers, Sondra

Very good sports action seris, Wilson & I like this the best as it is funnily lively & full of action excitement.
