Greetings from the CC! While I think this image has a few technical problems perhaps what I really like is that it captures the tension and the action, which I think is what a PJ shot should do. I really like the movement in the pitcher's leg. And the stance of the 1st baseman. What I think may have halped your image a little may have been to crop it more like a panorama, at least cropping out a good part of the car in the background and perhaps taking a bit then off the bottom to balance it out, I think this may give you a little bit more of a focus on your subjects. I also think using B&W (aside from the it is a PJ shot) was a good choice because there is so much going on in this shot you do not want the distraction of the colors to get int the way of your main subjects. Overall I think it is a good shot.
Keep shooting! |

| Well done, looks like it could be part of an article about the history of the game, Koufax, Ty Cobb, etc. |

| Great stop action. The whole image tells a story. The pitcher, the fieldsman (sorry I am not a baseball fan), the people behind the fences...they all they their own emotion. Good work. |

This is a good effort. However, the highlights are too blown. The blacks are too black. In a good b&w you need texture within your highlights and shadows.
In sports, this is a nice attempt. Some things to remember when shooting sports is the following, have action, get facial expressions, crop tight if possible, don't cut off limbs if possible, don't have lines going through players in the bg, don't have advertisement, make sure the pix is tack sharp, and finally (in this picture) have the ball in frame. |

| Nice sports capture. Works well, but where is this battle? Choose your title carefully for this genre. |

| I know it's hard to catch a fastball in the air, but sports photos just look better with a ball somewhere. Also, you could use the dodge tool on the players faces and dark jerseys to bring up the detail a little. |
