Greetings from the Critique Club!
First off let me tell you I love baseball so right off the bat you have me especially since this image is so vivid in color and is super sharp! But I must find faults especially since you scored only a 5.02 which I think makes this terribly underrated, IMO.
Ok, the aspect of heat in this challenge was probably in dispute by many voters or they simply didn't understand the sports reference. In any case to help with the idea here I think you should have used a slightly slower shutter speed so you get more motion blur on the ball to convey speed. Also, like one of the commenters mentioned a swinging bat would have helped greatly. Assuming you were there for the whole game you probably could have caught an image like that. Speaking of which if you combine more motion blur and a swinging bat you would have achieved your goal of capturing that baseball heater to the max. Another good shot of this could have been a pitch inside where the hitter leans back. Obviously that's a tougher one to capture since you'd probably have to be shooting on just about every pitch to get the one like that. Anyway, just a thought. |

| Wish I knew this sport so I could understand what a "heater" is and if it expresses "heat". Nice leading lines and great colors. |

| A beautiful shot. An interesting take on the challenge. A term that is commonly used in baseball, but rarely "visualized" I think. Hey Mikey, I think I like it! |

| Nice catch... good timing on this shot, and nice blur on the ball. The batter being stock still adds to it as well. Smoked it right by him.. |

| Great action shot. The only thing that could have made this better is if the batter had swung, but that is out of your control. |

| Great sports shot, but the only heat I see is in the title - not the picture. |
