LOL, "Minute Maid Park"!!?? I can't stand it when big corps. do this. Just like when Pac Bell tried to name CANDLESTICK park to "PacBell Park".

Needs a bit more contrast and sharpness. Try a multipass sharpening - it'll add contrast AND sharpen it at the same time.

While baseball is synonomous with summer (at least in the U.S.), the stadium exists year-round so this photo doesn't represent summer as well as some of the other entries. But this photo is well done. The tree in the foreground adds a nice touch of color, and nicely frames the "Minute Maid Park" sign.

Well....I guess its better than Kayopectate Park. I took my kid Aquafina there once right before she graduated from Cheetos Jr. High over on Aunt Jamimah St.
Sigh, and to think I am watching "The Sandlot" on HBO as I type this.

'Tis a lovely shot though (and product endorsement), but might want to be careful of having those flowers crowd things. As it is, the flowers are almost trying to take over as the main subject. Plus, I think Minute Maid legally requires proper clearance for its signage on all photo reproductions. You wouldn't want to go to the Pepsi's Court. (yes I know Coke owns Minute Maid, but whats the difference)

It seems to me to be a bit overexposed. The colors don't pop out like I think they could.
