It took me a minute to figure this out. It's really neat. Lighting and angle are good. I like how it fits in the frame. Very clever and unique. Another idea is to use a carpenters pencil. I think it would look cool that way too. I like the simplicity of this. It's not too busy and it's a neat balance. You did a nice job of getting in close on this. Don't know if too many people will realize it's only a 2" c clamp. Great job and good luck with the challenge.

I think if you found some way to eliminate the shadows, possibly by moving the clamp a few feet from the background, this shot would have more of an impact. Also, it looks like the clamp and the pencil are both a little underexposed.

cute idea. you can see the concentration on his face. Another way you could present a new glove is to show it banded shut with the ball inside next to a bottle of glove oil. I like how you did it too, with the little guy breaking it in. the clarity of the photo is great and the lighting is nice too. looks like he's been practicing hard with those rosy cheeks. nice shot and good luck with the challenge.

Great how you captured the ball in mid air and the look of concentration on the little slugger. Very nice! Grayce...aka...gracious

I like the stop-motion. White balance needs tweaking. Some of the whites got blown out a bit.

While I'm not crazy about the boy's shoulder and upper half of the ball being washed out, the rest of the image is great! I esp. like the ball in motion part. Nice touch. (were you throwing as well as picture taking? If so, impressive) While I had initially scored this as a 9, the glare is really bugging me. No, let it ride! Swash
