 Went to see the Braves play the Phillies Friday night. Braves got whooped but I got around 200 shots of the players and the stadium. You can see all the photos of that night at www.jstantonjr.smugmug.com

I really enjoyed taking this shot. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

if the focus was more on smoltz and less on the scoreboard, you probably would have placed much higher.

A worthy shot...worthy of more than a perfect 5.000!
There's so much going on here! The scores, the expression, the diagonals in the field, the inclusion of the fans! all lend to the moment. Do people think these are "easy" shots to get? I hereby deem you a victim of the challenge topic....

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. Nice pic. Looks ready for broadcast.

The focus on his face is a little soft, but his stance and your centering choice make it a great shot!
