Please check the large, many thanks.

You've really caught the moment here, Roger. I like how the batsman is looking directly at the ball, and the selective focus nicely separates the subject from the background. There are a couple of highlights that I find mildly distracting: the two whitish, ball-sized objects in the diagonal axis from the real ball up to the top-right corner. I might be tempted to edit them out, but that might not be part of your photographic ethos and in any case, they detract only slightly from what is a really great shot!
