Awesome pic. I'm a big baseball fan, and this pic describes alot. I'm glad you used a worn in baseball. I've seen others that used all old baseball memorbilia except for the ball. Congrates:-)
Nice compostion and use of sepia. I am not a big fan of baseball as a game but I love the imagery that the various elements give you to work with. You did a nice job.
Fantastic textures and wonderful light. This is what B/W is for. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The photograph vanishing into the shadow bothers me a little, and its edge shows some jaggies from sharpening. I find that for web images, a positive gamma adjustment of 1.1 is a good idea, as shadow detail seems to get lost otherwise. Top ten.
wonderful feeling created with this image. The old photo and ball are perfect for B&W. Just a little bit too dark on the right ... would be nice to see a little detail inside the glove.
this is my favorite type of picture. For some reason I like all this new technology to make everything look very old. :) I wish this was a touch brighter, but you captured the warmth of the "good old days" very well. good job.
I dig the lighting and texture and tone and mood and everything. I'm trying to figure out if I like the photo or not. It seems out of place (why would a photo be in a mitt with a ball?), and it also seems too "new" (in relation to the status of the ball and glove). However, I do like the image it portrays. Maybe a compromise -- age the picture a little, make it look older than it is. Totally just a suggestion. Good work.
this is one of my 10's, I love the setup and the well-worn baseball is a great touch. I remember watching many a little league game in my lifetime...days gone by is a great title.
That's a great photo. I love the contrast between shadow and brightness of the ball. The soft leather on the bottom is also appealing along with the photograph in the glove. It all works together very well.
I love this shot. Sorry the top of the glove in the upper left is there at all. It's a small thing and I can over look at. I'm sucked in by this shot and really do like it. Fine work, and great tones.
One of my favorites .... i know you cant do it for this challenge, but add a bit of a sepia tint to it and give it a bit of an older look or show it in color and soften the color... also, wonder what it would look like showing a little more of the glove. I really like your lighting on this.
