My son at his first ever baseball game!! I was behind the fence, the sun was setting, the field lights were on...I loved it!! It is still a snapshot, but I love interesting perspectives! Edits: slight crop, unsharp, contrast, resize.

I really like this photo. The colors and contrast really grab my attention, the blurred fence makes a nice frame for the player, and the abundance of diagonal lines makes for a very dynamic composition. Somehow I really don't care that it's crooked! Maybe because it's slanted enough that it seems intentional. And it's a unique, interesting perpective (Melethia isn't the only one that got it!).
OK, So it's a snapshot. I like it, and it isn't even my kid. (And I don't even like baseball!) It may not be a ribbon contender, but I'm glad you entered it. (And even more glad I drew it from the pool, since I didn't vote on this challenge and would have otherwise missed it!)
It's hard to be critical of a photo I like so well. I guess there are some distracting elements, like the corner of the roof on the right, but you can't control those in candid shots. And I wish it was just a bit sharper, although that's more a personal preference. Imperfections and all, there's nothing I'd really suggest changing here.
I just wanna say, thanks for the helpful comments....as for the fence and the rear-facing view...they are additional SUBJECTS of the picture..supposed to depict a mothers view of her child playing, and the fence is part of it, as the mother is behind the fence. But, thanks for the nice comments anyway.
~~and thank you Melethia, for getting it!
Frustrating having the chain link there. It's very distracting. If you have a long enough lens, go around the other side and get a good head on shot and avoid the chain link.
Despite being a nice photograph, this entry does not fall within the parameters of this weeks challenge. That being said, I must judge this photograph accordingly. :-(
