Very cool shot... I would like to share my hits also if you don't mind. Unfortunately Panasonic LZ2 is a slower machine, so couldn't catch the impact moment ;) Maybe with my new Pentax *istDL one day :)

I agree. . .I have tried so manytimes to get this kind of shot. This is amazing. 6.1 isn't a bad score, but I would think it would score a lot higher too.

| I guess people do not appreciate the difficulty involved in this shot. I had you much, much higher (gave you one of only a couple 9's in this challenge). You were robbed! |

I love this capture, I have shot thousands of little-league at bats and have only captured one like this with the ball compressed by the bat, and the pros do it a lot faster. Sorry it did not do better, I gave it a 10.

| Very cool shot! Color is a little flat though - more vibrant green grass and red clay might make that ball pop out. |

(1-2) Below Average (3) Average (4-5) Above Average
Challenge Relevance : 4
Contrast / Colors :4
Creativity / Originality :5
Composition / Eye Appeal: 4
WOuld maybe been average in Originality but guessing the some 100 photos you took to get the ball just contacting the bat , amazing . Still one of my top picks in the challenge and 2nd favorite baseball photo. |

| Very effective. Seems like an angle more to the front would help. This was a good capture. |

great timing, nice capture. i think, though, you could really benefit from putting 2-3 thousand dollars into equipment upgrades. you are really asking a bit too much from that slow lens (f/4?) you need f/2.8 if you want to get action like this razor sharp. i just happen to know of a mint condition canon 300mm f/2.8L that normally retails for $3700 for about $2700--let me know if you're interested...
oh, i REALLY like this and hope it does well. as for the challenge, you absolutely nailed it. i probably would have scored this an 8, but i'm giving this a 10 just to help offset the rough voting that i've seen in this challenge. good luck, hope to see this on the front page! (and yes, baseball is the best sport!) |

| I like the angle of the field, and the timing of your shot. The green border plays well here. |
