Ho humm....sorry...but there really isn't anything unique in this photo to catch the eye. No focus point.

Greetings from the CC! While I think this image has a few technical problems perhaps what I really like is that it captures the tension and the action, which I think is what a PJ shot should do. I really like the movement in the pitcher's leg. And the stance of the 1st baseman. What I think may have halped your image a little may have been to crop it more like a panorama, at least cropping out a good part of the car in the background and perhaps taking a bit then off the bottom to balance it out, I think this may give you a little bit more of a focus on your subjects. I also think using B&W (aside from the it is a PJ shot) was a good choice because there is so much going on in this shot you do not want the distraction of the colors to get int the way of your main subjects. Overall I think it is a good shot.
Keep shooting!

Nice. I appreciate pictures of sort of non-places with no direct subject. Kind of atmospheric, kind of documentary-like. Wish the truck wasn't there, but can't be helped.

Hey there from the Critique Club

I have to admit, this negative challenge has been very difficult to score, and even more difficult to critique. Your shot is no exception. While on one hand, you have an awesome display of negative colors, I think that it works against you just as much as it works for you. The contrasting colors in negative form don't really allow the viewer's eye to choose any one subject. Everything here just busily fades together. The blues in the upper left hand corner are the brightest elements in the shot, thus working to tug the eye to the corner. Without that area of brightness, you have a nice composition. There is also nothing really to draws the eyes around and into the frame. You did a pretty nice job with a very difficult challenge. I think that the 4.5-5.0 range is appropriate for this photograph to score.
