The dugout at my son's baseball field. I think it qualifies for outside looking in, you all may not. Oh well.

Shot in raw where most changes were done - exposure, desat, contrast. Then converted to greyscale, mode to duotone with brown, crop, shrink, submit.

This does lack contrast, but NOT interest. It seems to be caught between a B&W and a sepia. I suspect the low-side scores are about that or about its "fitness" for the challenge. Given that you have only 13 votes below a 4, and 16 above a 6, it's not so bad. Perhaps another one worth revisiting. (I know, we get so sick of an image during a challenge that it's hard to see it that way, but the long-view is nice sometimes.)

Nice composition. Two spots where the glare robs from the photo, lower right and middle of the top of the photo. 9

It's a very nice composition, but I think it's screaming for more contrast and a darker tone on the ground.

Seems a bit too washed out and over exposed to me but I do like the idea alot...

like the processing here- gives it an "old time" feel

I llike the cepia tone. It gives it an old-timey baseball look. Baseball pictures always touch my heart, being the baseball freaks me and my family are :)
