 I prefocused the camera on where the baseball should have fell and had my cousin drop it while having my other cousin dive. Thanks guys!

I'm not seeing any bokeh on this one. Cute capture, though. Did he catch it?

this is an amazing shot. it isnt the typical baseball field, world series, famous baseball player shot. this shot brings memories and fun. it is a shot that can withstand time. it is rustic, and simple and the way you focused in on the baseball really emphasizes the whole experience.

Cool idea, but I wish the baseball was in better focus and the kid on the ground a little less

Good idea, would have liked the ball a lot sharper, as it is, it almost blends into the whole picture...shame

great set up here, as a nit pick i think it would have been better w/o the logo but perhaps you felt a in-focus logo had more visual impact then a plain white ball
