THis is very very well thought out, composed adn finished. I like the contrast of the whites in the desat and the black and white. The only distraction is that the subject is a bit busy and mundane, my eyes are drawn to 3 places- the two garbage cans and the umbrella that is black and white.

Headline would be better if Thome was sliding into home rather than about to hit the ball.

Looks faded. Too bad was left handed. Would have been nice to see his face.

Hi Jeremy,

Greetings from the Critique Club...

This is the second entry of yours I've had the pleasure to study and comment on.

I agree with your other commenters -- the sepia tones (and the absence of any elements that would give away the year) has this feeling like an old photo.

I think your photo suffered a bit from the "train" being more of a distracting rather than enhancing element - it's not very photogenic or interesting as presented. While it's a technically good shot it doesn't have a particularly strong composition -- more of a documentary/journalistic feel. (I can see it printed and displayed in the local luncheonette as a representation of a time gone by.)

Please PM me if you have any questions or comments.

Regards, (from nearby Yardley)

Theresa

Out of focus. Underexposed?...flat.

Excellent Entry! This is fun for the eye to browse around all the action. Clean, clear detail and the umbrellas bring flavor to the scene. My only thought on how I might improve on this would be to take a look at how bright the shirt is on the guy at the bottom right. I might try to tone his shirt down to blend with the rest of the people. I like this. 9

Comment by AmiYuy:
This goes in order of what I notice first:
1) Boost the colors a bit by adjusting the contrast, it seems really dull, although I know paper photos can be, they don't have to be.
2) Rotate a bit to make the line of the box parallel to the bottom edge, it just seems like he's ready to fall backwards.
Score: 5

Very nice. Some blown highlights but still very good.
