Courtenay this is AWESOME! I gave it on of your 4 10's! Such a perfect capture with the little catcher looking up expectantly at the umpire with all the dust flying everywhere. I love it!!! Just added it to my favorites so I can see it often :)
Great action moment. The only thing better would've been the look on everyone's faces as they react to the call. I think it was in the sports shooting tutorial where it was mentioned that great sports shots don't always show the action of the play, but sometimes the reactions to it.
I wish there wasn't so much dust in the foreground, but I bet you couldn't do anything about that.
This could of been a great b&w. But, the whites are too blown the blacks are too black. A good b&w needs texture in the hightlights and shadows.
The picture itself is good. I get emotional value from the ump. If however I did not see any facial expressions, then the emotional value would be lost.
