9 - Nice shot. I like that there seems to be maybe three 'sets' of people within this shot that are all focused on something different, and you have captured that. I like the sepia?, adds to the character. Criticism; difficult as anything you do, cropping, coloring, would likely detract from the 'set' aspect I just explained. Good 'little people' action shot. I think the frame works too.

Would have been the best photo with just the kid on first and no background players, other then possibly a angle where you would see him watching the batter in the background would have made this my top photo , but still a great shot.
Ah yes out pastime. Everything that can be done with photo and baseball has probably already been done. so redo must be perfect. This shot is nicely composed. I like the detail and where you chose to focus. The color you put in to it is also a very good choice. Very well done
Great composition. I like the choice of bw here. It reduces distraction and puts the focus on the foreground subject. Very well done. You will probably receive comments about the frame. I like it, but it may be a bit too wide - a little overdone. 9.
Excellent DOF, nice composition. It would have been really cool if you would have been looking down from thrid base and got the batter in full swing as number 9 leads.
maybe less frame more picture - I like the frame but with only 640px to show your picture then the frame is taking alot of space. - this is just a suggestion and will not affect my voting.
