Very nice. I like the limited DOF. Just like the big guys from SI :-). I might rotate it a few degrees counterclockwise to straighten the fence line. That would necessitate cloning in a bit more dirt at bottom right, but I think it would be worth the effort. You might also burn in some of the

Hi Bruce ... First, it's a great capture - the look on the pitcher's face is great. However, this one loses impact in the details. The slight tilt to the fence can easily be corrected as Paul suggests, and I think it would help the presentation. A little softer OOF area in the background would

I am looking at this photo in Irfanview and I cannot see any tilt with either the top or the bottom of the fence. The crop tools seems to line up with the fence top perfectly. I agree with Shel that the contrast could use a little work. Sharpness looks very good. On 6/15/06, Shel Belinkoff

Hi Ken, I don't see the background as all that confusing or distracting. Certainly catching the kid's expression is more important than the fence, which can be adjusted in numerous was within Photoshop or other editing software. Add a little blur, perhaps a saturation or contrast adjustment,

Much better, Bruce ... just a couple of things. The kid's face looks a little too red or ruddy, and the yellow blob on the fence in the ULHC might benefit from a reduction in saturation or something. Really minor, and certainly almost more a matter of preference than anything else. Shel
