I don't know if this is the lowest scoring Blue but... I'LL TAKE IT!!!
Seriously, this was a very tough challenge. The scope was so narrow and it was hard to think of anything original. In the end I thought that playing around with hues etc was the only way to have this image stand out at all. Thx for the comments and votes... :)

The orange on the baseball is a little funky. I like the composition but the photo appears too dark to tell what kind of field it is and im curious to know how this won a blue
Hey Rudy: way to go pal! A lovely illustrative image with lovely colors and capturing the essence of this challenge in good form. Congratulations on your Blue!
Wow! You did GREAT with such a narrow challenge! And how cool is THAT to have 2 blues on the front page at the same time! CONGRATULATIONS! Very deserving!
Wow....Congrats on both entries!!! Your passion for photography and the progress you've made in such a short amount of time is very inspiring. You're truly gifted my friend. The question is, where do you go from here? I see $$$$$ in your future. WELL DONE!!!
love this image ... =8
and an innocent question .. is the green hue straight out of the camera? ... i'm not absolutely sure wot you can do in the basic challenge ... like selective editing etc .. coz the green looks like a vignette to me .. i could be wrong, of course .. and being new to dpc i want to learn wots allowed, so please dont think i'm being offensive ...
Nice idea, composition, execution. The ball looks unnatural, overprocessed, shiny, with overblown whites and reds. I think that you could deepen the color in the sky a touch. I like the image, and think that your perspective for the bench and fence is very good.
Good shot. Compositionally, you've really paid attention, even lining up the right-hand light pole with the links in the fence. Only quibble I've got is the red on the baseball seems over-saturated, but that's pretty minor.
Crisp, well focused image. The red on that baseball just jumps out. I like the colors in this (sky, bench, field). Only negative is it feels quite contrived, but how do you get away from that with this challenge? Hmmm. Anyway, overall I like it very much. Good luck!
Very nice...love the color and the composition. The ball, on my monitor (which is not a fabulous one by any stretch of the imagination) seems to "glow" a little, especially the red text on it, but that's not a horrible thing. Just an observation. Good luck! :)
overall score: comp-2, MC-2, PP-1, impression-1, wow-0 = 6.
and apart from that, i think ultrapinky colour on the ball is a bit distracting. my eyes are drawn to it all the time i try to look at other parts of image.
