Your idea here is very good, it would make for some good photojournalism but it is to soft. You need to sharpen it up a bit. Tools was the challenge subject and the tool in this case appears to be a baseball bat, and it should be the main subject not a blurry little area of the photo.
Looking at the photo in a fast glance many voters would have given you a low score not seeing the baseball bat. Might I strongly suggest you don't use "Untitled" as a subject. I feel a photo without a title is missing part of it's personality as well as part of the photographers personality. As I look at it I would easily title it something like "Meet my brother the Louisville Slugger" Simply knowing most people know that a Louisville Slugger is a bat, it would make the average voter stop and realize there was a bat in the photo and that is what you wanted the voter to recognize as the tool.
This is certainly genuine and these shots are tough to capture. I believe this is worth full marks for its courage and journalism. Technically, it's a bit soft so it gets a 9, but the capture is great.
More value should be placed on opportunistic shots like this - it's why the camera is such a valuable tool itself. I hope yours scores higher than my Desolation shot. ;)
I thank he was mad ! lol lol You did a great job of capturing emotion. He is uesing the ball bat as a tool. the size of the photo is a little small but i am giveing you a 9 ( I like this photo)
great shot.. great photo journalism.. Its reminds me of what we were always told in the military... Only use a tool for its intended purpose!!!! High marks for a great capture of motion and emotion
