As someone who shoots his share of baseball, I know how hard it is to get a capture like this. Awesome job.
As a former hitter, I always enjoyed ripping a line drive back at the pitcher (on the next AB of course!) after being on the receiving end of one of these!
Like Patents4u states, a tighter crop here would have definitely helped and possibly moved it up the final list. |

As a former hurler, I get a kick out of this pic - twisted, I know. From the perspective of the pic it's a bit hard to tell, but there appears to be an awful lot of room between the outside edge of the box and the back of the kids feet...so perhaps the pitcher wanted his plate back (though I would never advocate crunching someone's melon to do so). :-)
Game analysis aside, I had this much higher. It is a once in a lifetime, and it is well done, very well done. Guess it just wasn't pretty enough for the voters. I do understand some of the comments about the crop since the crowd does not really add much here, but still thought it would end up much higher. |

| looks like you timed this one perfectly, well done; a tighter crop all around might have been a little more emphatic |

Great timing, love the impact mark on the helmet.
Did the blow floor him? |

| OUCH! boy, what timing. i have a picture of my son that one would think he would like, but it reminds him of something that happened earlier in the day on the day it was taken; the two events are totally unrelated, but when he sees this one picture he gets mad at me for reminding him about the other thing...go figure. hope this isn't one of those moments for you. also hope that you aren't getting overlooked in this huge challenge, and that you are getting good feedback. good luck with this, and all the challenges yet to come! |

| Ouch, well you've certainly got timing. Great stop of the motion. I'd like to see this cropped a little closer for more drama. |

| Ouch! Great timing, but the effect is more that he has a ball stuck to his helmet. Impossible to capture a one off like this perfectly, but maybe a little more motion might have added to the drama. Would have been great to see the facial reaction as well. |

| OUCH!! Perfectly captured brain scambler. Image seems a little tilted but might simply be from the angle of the shot. |
