Love the old-time feel of this. Well composed, sharp image. Really great to use worn equipment. Love the black and white. May have looked good in sepia also.

Comment by BrennanOB:
The baseball's highlights are blown out so I lose the stitching on my monitor, and the framing crowds the glove so it all seems cramped. While the wooden backround is evocative of the bench ( as in "grab some pine kid") the boards are wide enough to read as deck with the space between the boards lead the eye off the page. Of course I wouldn't have spent the time pointing out the things I didn't like if it wasn't basically a good shot with a few defects (IMHO)

Nice use of black and white. The contrast here works well for me. Looks like you've got a hot spot on the ball that's washed out.

The highlights are just a bit washed out. I like the composition.

Love the dark tone and texture of the shot. The old glove and the choice of black and white gives it some age and nice emotive value. Nicely captured.

All I see is one (outside) light source. Otherwise it is a very clever juxipostion of old and new.

Wonderful shot. Nicely framed. Excellent levels. Good color. The title works well with the image. There's one little hot spot on the right I might have cloned out, but the rules don't allow it. Otherwise nearly perfect. (10)
