ANYONE who would vote this a 4 or lower is a serious troll! Just jealous that it was most likely going to trash their own picture by comparison. This is so awesome, and maybe because I love baseball, but it definitely has a wow factor for me!!! Fabulous job!!!!!

i copied your comments, as i'm dumping the revisited image ;-)

"I want a much closer crop on this. While I find the composition to be OK, I would really like to see the gray area cropped all the way up to the dark shadow of the wood or whatever it is the little guy is on, and also cropped in a good bit on the left side. The upper area has a nice, rich dark color that provides a good background, and I think getting rid of the gray would really make him "pop" out from the background."

According to your comment you took this in one shot (no burst). That's the kind of training I would love to get. Though I am interested in other type of sports the idea of single shot is amazing. Good work. Congrats on the top 20!

Skip, congrats on the personal bests with an amazing capture. I'm sure the player would love to have this shot on his wall! Also, congrats on the 20d. It's a great camera, and I can't wait to see more of you work with it.

Skip - you're the man! Congrats on 13th with this well-timed, single-click, awesome-even-though-no-ball-in-sight, kickass shot! What kind of league is this that can't afford anything but balsa wood bats?? ;-)

edit: forgot to mention that I'm glad you spelled the sound effects correctly or I'd a bumped you down a point. :)
