I tried to frame the person and the ball in the same triangle to give it a good frame, but it didn't work that way. I also tried to get a little closer to the fence and that was a bad idea. When the ball hit the fence it wobbled and almost hit my camera. Thanks for the comments!
Nice - the fence does the trick. Location of the camera is perfect to have the guy exactly in the center of the square. I would though have lost an inch or so from the right - to have the object right in the center.
Technically a sound shot. You did get the motion stopped well. But the water tower in the back and the chain link in the foreground distract from the subject.
The fence is kind of distracting but than again I bet you didn't want to get hit, you were probably like throw that son bitch at me and I'll just duck behind this fence.
Crop left and right sides to make subject more pronounced. The stuff in the background is distracting. Too bad there weren't cars visible. (2 stopped actions.) Part of me likes the fence, part of me doesn't.
The motion is stopped pretty well with the ball and the focus on it is good ... you might have tried getting rid of the fence somehow ... even putting the lens right up to an opening.
I like the idea to use the fence to frame both the pitcher and the ball. It would have liked it better if the ball would have been positioned more towards the point were the wires cross. But I guess the pitcher wasn't that good ;)
this is really cool... i've read somewhere that if you get really close to the fence, and focus far away enough the wires will almost disappear. Don't know if you'd trust your pitcher's arm enough to get the camera any closer :) Well done
Ii wish you hadn't been behind the fence, it was probably safer that way, though. :) Try framing it vertically to crop away most of the background and focus on the action.
Fine effort. Wish I did not have to look through the fence. It must have been tough to get a high enough shutter speed to stop the ball yet a wide enough aperture for the depth of field. Nice work.
I wonder how many shots you had to take to get this. Good job freezing action in an interesting composition. Terrific picture. The yellow ball makes it.
This is a cool shot! I like the blurred fence. This lets me know that your camera survived so you may participate in the next challenge :) This would have been tough, but if your pitcher could have been framed within one diamond on the fence, and the ball in another, that would have added some very nice visual impact to this shot. Maybe the pitcher and the ball in the same diamond with a tighter crop would have been really great too. Keep up the good work!
