This one brings a strong aesthetic pleasure with itself. What strong composition! I wonder if it will be more effectrive in pure B&W instead of a sepia tone.

Quite different a macro from what I have seen lately. Good job!

Moment of Impact

I suspect if the picture is actually of what the title suggests.. the DOF blur isnt quite what a motion blur would be... it almost looks like the ball in lying on a base, and the actor is still for the picture. So *unless* this was taken with a high shutter speed and the bat in motion, I wouldnt be too impressed with the technique itself. Nice idea though.

To answer your question, it was an abstract of shapes and gradients of light and shadow. As opposed to, say, a snapshot of a statue that happened to be sitting around the house. Meow! :-D

Please re-read the challenge details: "Take a photo of someone trying to move an immovable object."

I do not see a subject trying to move the mountains here.

This is in top 3 for me. Great angle, great depiction, great composition, great color fidelity. Nothing to complain about here. I give it a 10.
