Shot through a chain-link fence at a high-school JV baseball game. The pitcher was flanked by the first baseman and the runner leading-off of first base. His arms and the line of his eyesight runs right along the top of the fence in the background, which made for a pleasing composition.
Photoshop: no cropping was performed, just two adjustment layers to bring up the brightness and intensity.

I think the POV on this detracts from an otherwise well done photo. It meets the theme and I like the slight blur that lets me see the action behind the pitcher. The main subject is nice and sharp but the yellow line across his shoulders takes away from it all.
Very nice capture. Really don't like that yellow lined merger through his head though. Alos- rule of thumb- always leave room for movement. Right now, when the pitcher finishes his step, he will be out of the photo with that foot. Leave room to breathe in this case.
Great capture of the moment. I especially love the two players in the background, slightly out of focus to keep the emphasis on the pitcher, but heightening the anticipation. Excellent shot. In a perfect world the left foot would not be cut off nor the 1st baseman's leg, but not a big impact overall.
