Where's the ball?

My favourite bit is the kids in the background who aren't watching, because their mom's telling them something. :)

Good action shot of the batter.

Distractions: catcher's arm, crowd

Solutions: crop the catcher's arm and blur the background so as to isolate the batter better.

Great capture. The ball would have helped. I don't know if the catcher's glove was needed.

crowd doesn't seem to be into the game very much, especially those two kids just above and to the right of the batter's head; nice jerseys on the home team

I would have liked the spectators out of focus to be less distracting. Somehow the player in the chair takes my attention!! Great action and color.
