This is a 100% crop of another photo in my gallery. I was surprised

by the detail on this one, as well as the timing as the catcher

drops the ball. This was shot with the Canon 28-300mm USM IS lens.

A bit too dark, would be nice to see the color of her eyes

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!

How did you get all of them to sit still long enough to take a photo? My one cat won't sit still....she see the camera and she runs away :(. Very nice catch here, and as others said, great composition! Also, thanks for the rating on my bat meets ball photo.

Nice catch...but OUCH! The dirt flying adds to the shot in addition to what was already mentioned.

#1: Wheres the ball?

#2: Why take color away? It makes an already lacking photo lack even more

#3: Empty seats - makes for a better background, but makes the photo even more lifeless than the B&W does.

 

I know baseball is having problems, but this makes it seem completly dead! And no, this doesn't belong in Cooperstown, I delete these types of photos as they are of no value, especially with no ball.

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

unaltered other than cropping and resizing for the web.

This was from a high school play. Curious what you think.

This scene is as the woman on the bed dies while rembering her

daughter.

Just thought I'd see what you think of thios one. I know there is

some motion blur on the rider but I think it adds to the shot. I

also thought the sign in the background was appropriate "Play it

safe" - yeah right!

the arm blocking the players face ruins the shot, it's not one I'd post, nor one a paper would run with.

levels need adjusted and get rid of framing...ruins everything.

You can buy a 1D MK II N too, all it takes is $3,999,99, you already have a 70-200, shell out another $5000 for a lens and your set....

Thank you Vrindavan. Most of my non-sports photos never get here. THanks For looking!

JS

Unfortunately poor focus and NO ball. Sports that have a ball or puck need to show them in the photo unless it shows some other action such as two players colliding or after game victory & defeat.

One of my sisters cats. I always loved this cats eyes.

I thought about this a while, and honestly the text ruins the whole thing. It's too bad as it looked like a good photo by itself, and would, and should convey the messages without the text.

 

JS

Yup, they are red....too bad, it could have been very good...try without flash and see what you get.

I like this girls expression!

I find it hilarious with the men playing and the womens banners in the background...just makes me laugh. A bit under expsosed though, otherwise nice catch.

Well lets see here, after looking at your other childrens photos as well I'd say you have a couple problems here. One is they are all very soft...what lens are you using? Another is poor lighting, this one here is one of those and it looks like you over sharpened or had the ISO cranked way up with all the noise in it. Also the WB is off on this shot, and some of your others.

Unfortunately it is too soft, especially the girls face on left.

This was shot with a Canon 28-300mm USM IS from the oposite endzone

and cropped. Curious what you think?

Nope, no Lensbaby. It was taken with an Olympus C2100UZ and a wide angle adaptor. Apparently the adaptor made the blurr affect. It was the first shot I took with the adaptor and probably the best one with it.

JS

Need tighter crop. DOF should blur background. Nice timing though

Thank you Vick S. not sure where the other person got his comment ... oh well.
