Taken during the first week of my internship :-) Going to go into my portfolio!! I am quite proud of this photo... hope you all like it as well.

cropping... levels... slight color work... nothing drastic... resizing, sharpening... thats it.

Enjoy!

Another great sports photo! Fantasic timing to capture the moment and great compsition, I love the bat and mask on the left, although I think I would have preferred it not to be cropped quite so tight on the right. I hope your internship goes well and you have good reason to be proud!

Think you deserved a better score - maybe it was the bright white uniform that caused some to score lower?? Dunno. I gave you an 8 (as did 21 others I see).

Well, I think he's safe, but that looks like it hurt. Great action catch

Great action shot! I like how you caught the ball just as it was popping out of control.

Beautiful. This is one of the best sports pictures I have ever seen. It ranks with the polo pictures in this contest. A 10.

The BEST sports shot in the contest so far - best by a LONG shot! I don't generally appreciate baseball photos, but this is excellent! 8

The bat and catcher's facemask are a nice touch in the corner.

Ooo, ouch. Did he just sucker-punk him? Great action shot.

Like the fact that you stopped the ball (and sand by cleat) cold. Well done.
