Great natural moment captured. Really, really nice black and white treatment!
A few observations...
- without the title, it would be hard to pinpoint the progress here.
- the old man in the bright white shirt is a bit distracting, my eye continues to drift back to him. I wonder if a crop of only the three boys would have worked better.
- the bench/horizon is tilted. Take a look at this tutorial, it may help.
I just love this one. It's simple, and so candid and sweet. You really get the feeling that you're being let in on intimate friendship -- gives you a sense of belonging. Great job. Plus, I love baseball photos :)
The old gentleman in the back really completes the scenario. Peace between the races has progressed so much in my lifetime (I was raised in the 60's) and your picture speaks volumes. (Of course we still have a long way to go) I give it a 10.
