good perspective - I do find it a bit disorienting, though, because while the ballfield and players seem relatively "normal"-looking, the sky looks like it was hit with an oil painting-effect filter. Not saying that's good or bad, exactly, just that the sky doesn't seem to belong in the same universe as the rest of the picture.

love the light, and the echoes of vertical lines between foreground and background

great natural framing in this square on 3 sides with that fantastic tree

I agree with Nikki, that if it had been possible at the time, to have tried shooting from an angle that placed her head somewhere under or nearer the land horizon, but as I type this I can't think why it would be preferable...although too, the land all sloping in towards her head do make for good leading lines to your central subject.

pshaw, proper lenses are overrated :) the square format really allows you to exploit so much sky, doesn't it? what a wonderful thing, fantastic image and toning

the land is the smallest thing in this "landscape", and it is good :)

gorgeous array of texture, and I like how the draping and the flowers fall slightly out of frame

what should be such a static image, of people preoccupied with their devices, nevertheless holds such intensity and incipient drama, what a marvel

also, I really like how the booth seats and ceiling "arch" in the background emphasize and frame all the subjects
