Local kid pitches perfect game

I take a lot of BB pictures as my kid plays as well so ... This shot would not make my keeper file unless it was the only capture I could muster.
Why? well focus the subject is not sharp a faster shutter speed was needed or a slower one for a motion blur. Lighting looks like it was in a good area but your position captures the shadow part of it. Background is more in focus than the subject. Your auto focus cheated you from a nice shot.
If this is your child? If so take heart in that when I posted a BB picture of my kid in a challenge it was one of my lowest scores ever. But I did not care I was still proud.
I scored you a 5.
Good Luck

Cheers

Nice capture lots of negative space however and that is why I only scored you an 8 in what could have been higher if circumstances were better in this shot.

Good Luck

Classic agriculture shot With a grizzled weathered farmer in the feid inspecting his crop might have made this a little better and more consistant with what is seen in Newspaper. Still a good'n and I scored ya an 8

Retirement - The Last Day in School

Ok what I see as wrong in this photo Lower right is that a head? Lighting a little harsh on the flower. composition IMO I would have moved to the left to get a slightly more 1/4 view. The title...I don't usally take the title into consideration but this challenge is different.
Something like " Schools Out! Popular Teacher/Proffessor/Dean retires after 35 years" would be more in scope with a newspaper headline.

What is good, your Idea your subject,your capture of emotion.

I gave you a 6 which I gave as the average for this challenge.

Good Luck
Cheers
