Greetings from the Critique Club!

I like your concept here, but this photograph seems to suffer from a couple technical issues.

First, it appears the camera locked focus on the plant at bottom right. In addition it appears you had a slowish shutter speed, which resulted in some motion blur. Perhaps it might have been better to open up by 1-2 stops to speed up the shutter. Even if you had to go to ISO 1600, the 5D can handle that quite well.

It looks like you may have oversharpened a touch, as there are noticeable sharpening halos in some spots.

This is a nice concept overall, though. I like where you went with it.

Nice action capture. Too bad the ump is in front of the catcher.

Good shot, but it would be much better if we could see some faces of the key people.

Pity not all of the fish were sharp. Did you use a flash? That might have helped you bump up the shutter speed to avoid the motion blur. Check out underwater/fishtank flash techniques on a site called www.strobist.com

Seems way oversharpened overall, though the oof foreground fish makes it seem oof.

Nice concept. The Ref kind of messes up the action of the players. Good Ref point of view. I think he's out-a-there!
