Highly disappointed that some faceless kid showing his backside, a yellow line going through his head, and a messy bG, totally emotionless, without any kind of interaction at all to the photo bested my image.
I am kind of surprised this didn't score higher with the action and the important elements in the photo. I am also guessing the runner was safe? Great capture that deserved more respect form the photos.
LOL. This photo came up just after another photo of a player running for home. I just left that one a comment that if the ball was in the frame, it would have scored bonus points. I voted, and your image came up. Ask and you shall see.
As far as your photo, I like the composition. A nice clean background really helps the subject pop out of the image. The eye contact of the runner to the ball helps the viewer shift his attention appropriately. The noise is a bit annoying, I'm guessing a result of a high ISO to allow for a fast shutter speed. Not much to do about that short of spending thousands of dollars on fast zoom lenses.
