I didn't get any decent shots of the actual game, but I thought this was more amusing anyway. I don't usually go to baseball games (this was a work event) and it amazed me how many people hardly looked at the field but everyone paid attention to the beer man.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Very nice use of your depth of field. This does an excellent job of nicely isolating your subject, which I might add, is the most important part of any game. Without the beer man, I'd have to get up far too many times.

Lighting: I'd like to see this one lit better. Perhaps a little more exposure would have helped out here. I use a very bright monitor, and everything looks a bit dark here.

Composition/Content: Nice rule of thirds use. This really helps pull the eye up and into the frame. The heads at the bottom of the screen are fairly distracting, yet understandable.

My Opinion: Nice work, but it appears that this isn't exactly what the voters were looking for. Nice job thinking out of the box to capture a different side of the action.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

Nice idea. I would consider cropping more of the bottom so you do not see the balding guys head.

Excellent use of focus to create a very interesting and unique image. Composition works well; I wish there was a little more light on his face but there's no way to control that.

good idea - loses the subject in the shadows though

This has the potential of a good shot, but the blurry subject in front of the person is really annoying. Other than that, the limtied DOF really makes you focus on the guy in the yellow shirt.
