Taken at a day game at Zepher Stadium. It was crowded, thousands of elementary school kids were there. My seat was high in the first level but I had a clear shot at the home plate. I haven't had a lot of experience with this kind of shot,so I was happy with it. There were feet and legs at the top which I cropped. Should have cropped more from the bottom. It was a fun experience.

Nice shot! I gave it a six. You seem to have caught the players at just the right moment.

Nice colors, action, border, focus. Well done.

Excellent classic baseball moment. I would have maybe cropped a bit of grass off the bottom to really draw focus to the action, but that's just me. Great shot.

Oh nice capture! I was dying to see a ball flying away in the same frame, thank you. I would have cropped the bottom part of the image to pan more to the top if I could. 7/10.

nice work, especially from the bleachers. love the colors, and nice job with the exposure...pretty tricky with that much sunlight.
