nice stop acton. there is a lot of dead space around the two players that could be cropped out. Most sports shots are cropped as tight as possible to make the person feel closer to the action. however, it's still a fine shot.

This one suffered from not being able to see faces. I think a more rectangular shot may have been better. Right now it's a square picture with two guys right in the middle. Stretching it just a touch to the right or left would have taken advantage of the triangle shape you have between the fielder, the runner, and the bag.

Isn't that All-Star MVP Miggy Tejada ? Of course the call is OUT. Very nice sports action capture.
