Gives a very newspaper like feel
03/17/2009 05:59:39 PM
Good capture!
03/17/2009 05:27:02 PM
Nice catch, but the colors are kind of dead and the focus could be better in my opinion! Sorry if i was rude! Good luck to you!
03/17/2009 05:16:16 PM
Nice angle. Focus seems little bit soft.

I was just going to ask what WBC stood for and then I realized that there are huge words on the field that explain it. Glad I caught that before I asked. I like the motion of the ball mid throw.

Good capture with the ball being hit.
03/16/2009 10:12:08 PM
Was this taken at the Rogers Centre? Too bad about the fence in the way.
03/16/2009 01:46:20 PM
Bring 'im the heat....
03/15/2009 10:56:21 PM
Well captured and presented. You got the ball in motion!
03/15/2009 05:51:36 PM
A strong action shot well done
03/15/2009 04:19:57 PM
That balls looks like it is really moving.
03/15/2009 10:40:10 AM
it's a moment in time for sure not much else to say, sorry
03/15/2009 09:44:37 AM
This would be better without the net. Good timing on catching the ball
03/15/2009 08:02:53 AM
I'm sorry but I find the net really distracting. It also looks a bit overexposed. Good luck.
03/15/2009 07:43:48 AM
oh there is a nice movement but the quality is not so good and that fence doesnt help too...

just 3 ..

;D brano
03/15/2009 04:37:14 AM
cool how the screen frames where the action is taking pace, everyone's watchng the ball that just left the bat and waiting to see how they should react, nice shot
03/14/2009 11:04:58 PM
Nice bright colors. Do I see a ball flying?
03/14/2009 08:07:09 PM
Don't take this the wrong way but as I see DPC as a learning experience here is my frank critique:

This comes across as a snapshot. By that I mean that I feel that anybody standing where you were with a camera could have gone click and got this result. I think a photographer should aim to do more than that. I may be wrong and perhaps you do have more of a story to your shot but the fact is that it doesn't come across to the viewer.

As an example, if you were in Paris and saw the Eiffel Tower you could hold the camera and go click. You'd have a shot that millions of other tourists have and would be good as a record of your holiday. I think at DPC you need more than that. You need to consider the POV - make it something that enhances the tower (include a flowerbed or kissing couple in the foreground), make use of lighting (dusk for shadows), composition (maybe include the buildings beside it to get a sense of scale).

I hope this helps and please don't be offended, I'm only offering an opinion.

color a little flat
03/14/2009 05:08:20 PM
focus is a soft, cropping off the top to just below the top of the fence would be beter IMO
03/14/2009 01:55:40 PM
To bad about the net- just the right timing - well done
03/14/2009 01:36:25 PM
I like this.. almost looks like a pencil drawing or art piece.
03/14/2009 11:32:33 AM
Great seats!
03/14/2009 09:38:00 AM
Great capture, good POV with a lot of symmetry.
03/14/2009 06:28:17 AM
Nice capture on the ball.
03/13/2009 11:38:59 PM
Captured the action nicely
03/13/2009 07:10:06 PM
just a bit to hazy, colors are not vivid enough
03/12/2009 11:35:22 PM
nice composition
03/12/2009 10:59:25 PM
Nice action shot from home plate.
03/12/2009 08:07:23 PM
Great timing. Pretty much the perfect shot you could get from your viewpoint.
03/12/2009 07:49:30 PM
Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know's on third... got to love this game! nice capture of the hit baseball...
03/12/2009 11:59:15 AM
Great timing to catch the streak of the ball.
03/12/2009 08:27:28 AM
Nice seats.
03/12/2009 01:19:37 AM
Great action shot.
03/12/2009 12:00:15 AM
Nice capture. But the lines from the net are very distracting...
03/11/2009 06:39:30 PM
Good timing on the hit. Just a little overexposed.
03/11/2009 02:42:51 PM
Those must have been some nice seats! :)
03/11/2009 12:49:41 PM
Not liking this to much for an entry but I am sure it has meaning to you. :) To me its to snapshotish.
03/11/2009 08:45:26 AM
It would be interesting to see a tighter crop following the poles.
03/11/2009 06:11:17 AM
That ball is really moving! Nice comp, a touch overexposed maybe?
03/11/2009 06:02:31 AM
