I think it is a fine image, Frank. I like the dof, the position of the ball, the expression on the pitcher's face, and the posture of the fielder to the left of the pitcher. The fielder or runner behind the pitcher is a bit distracting, but we work in an imperfect world and must take it as it is

My, my - Frank has gone from street to landscape to wildlife and now to sports. And he has done quite well at each of these different genres. Nice going again, Frank. To get the best shot off pitching, you have to be near the catcher. Been there many a time. -- Sent from my Android phone wi

Most enjoyable... I think you're not doing this shot justice by disliking lots of things about it :-). Boris On 9/2/2010 2:07 PM, frank theriault wrote: There's a lot of things I ~don't~ like about this one, but enough good things that I'm showing it anyway. ;-) http://knarfinthecity.blogsp
