** Greetings from the Critique Club **
First of all, good action shot that fits the challenge theme.
There are a few major problems though. First of all the colors are not very vivid - a boost in saturation can corerect this. Secondly, your white balance needed to be adjusted to compensate for the strong lighting you were under - namely direct overhead sunlight. Thirdly, the focus was off - leaving the image in it's entirety a bit soft.
I agree with some of yopur other commenters, the depth of field had it been more narrow would have blurred out the background people which are very distracting from the star of this shot.
As for the composition, very nice. Your image fits into the rule of thirds, and in my eye is cropped just right - not to close or too wide.

| Good show of the pitching action; lost a bit of focus from what I'm looking at; maybe needs a bit more contrast/white balance. Overall, very good. |

| nice composition and good action caught on film. this appears to a bit overexposed (in my honest opinion) -- maybe saturate it a bit more? or adjust the levels a bit more. |

| The pent-up action in this work is just great. |

| 8 - Good action and intensity capture. Criticism; more focus, enhanced colors, more background blur. For me, the folks in the background (including their lack of attention) detract too much from the 'star'. |

| background distracts, and looks over exposed, otherwise, great timing. |

| I like the framing and the subject looks sharp. You might consider using a narrower depth of field to blur the background. More contrast would help, too. Slight overexposure can lend that washed out look, I think. |

| the colors could be richer, but other than that it's a really nice shot. |

| white balance seems off, too much cyan? more saturation and more contrast would make this a 10, great capture, nice composition, nice work! |

| Good job of capturing the tension of the moment. The colors are really flat, maybe some contrast adjustment would have helped. |

| Seems a little over exposed. More depth woould have been better 6 |

| The light is awfully harsh. Maybe bring up some depth of darker tones. Great stop action. Goooo Texas!!! |
