 Took this at a Long Island Ducks game last night. Had to take it at ISO 800, so it's a bit grainy. Going to have to invest in Neat Image or something if I continue with these types of shots.

I used a 100-400mm lens for this shot, so I could get up close. Luckily it has image stabilization.

Photoshop CS:
- Crop
- Curves
- Sharpening
- Reformatting for Web

p.s. The Ducks ended up winning 4-2!

Good shot! I find it too dark for an obviously sunny day.

Batter is a little out of focus. Composition is good. Exposure could use a step up maybe.
