I think your shot was under valued. This is a great shot for the challenge. Technically the picture could have been a little better but I loved the composition. These are much harder shots to get than something staged. Well done an don't let your place get you down.
Great idea. Good sharp cature of the action too. Big problem - the whole concept of your image is that he is safe ... the only thing we can't see ... all obscured by the arm in the foreground
Not sure if you intended this or whether it was a happy accident. Would be better without that middle arm so the viewer could actually see the action. The other arms are fine.
Yankees.. yay! Nice shot. Of course it would be better without the hands in front of it, but I'm sure you couldn't have helped that. You did a great job at capturing that exact second. Too bad the Yanks are out now. :(
I think I undrestand the effect you wanted but the hands in the way really detract from the picture. Of course the Yankee's getting knocked out of the playoffs brings a smile to my face and that's worth 6.
I think I get what you're driving at. I'd have leveled the line in the backgroud above the dugout, and the out-of-focus hands/arms in front of the lense kill the shot for me.
For me, I find the arms in the foreground simply too distracting. My eyes wish they could see the play itself, as the glove and plate are blocked off. Hope you had fun at the game, and that your team won.
You must have had wifi with you, this game ended late and you got this uploaded quickly. Great seats too right on the third base line. Correct me if I am wrong but that was the winning run George Posada scoring ahead of the tag. The hit was Jeter's to third, right? Am I a Yankee fan or what? Love it.
Could have been a great action shot without the people in front of you obstructing the action. While I understand that they are celebrating, the blurry, dark shapes just harm the image.
