Yup, I definately see the reference to new. I like the photo very much, you even got the ball half way from the pitcher to the batter. If the photo were turned slightly counter clockwise, it would be a little more balenced. You did a very nice job with this photo. I actually just attended my very first baseball game on Thursday, so I think it's neat. Good luck with the challenge.
This is cool. I like the perspective. Too bad you weren't a little higher up to get rid of the people at the bottom of the frame. For me, this may have worked a little better if it were framed vertically to get the pitcher's ful body in frame instead of just his legs and provide more depth (sense of where the ball will be going after hit). Score: 5 Courtenay
I know this was suggested in the forums....but if I held a sign that said new on it and took a self portrait, would you score me highly? (hint: see my last name in my profile, and I am the youngest child in my family) O.K. all that said, this is a very nice photo of a baseball game. I do object to cutting off the pitcher and the lower 1/8 of the shot seems too dark, but have a nice day anyway. 7 Swash
This is a fantastic shot. It really has everything, drama, action and tension. The angle is great and it's technically great… But, I think the challenge link is a bit weak…
I was hoping someone would get New York in there! Great shot! I mean, heck, you can even see the ball coming in......it looks like.....a.... ball....definitely ball four!
I don't know how new the NY Yankees are...they been around since 1903. Unless you mean something like the "NEW" NY Yankees (Jeter, Clemens etc. vs. Ruth Rizzuto etc,) then that would be something totally different.
