Would have been the best photo with just the kid on first and no background players, other then possibly a angle where you would see him watching the batter in the background would have made this my top photo , but still a great shot.

Ah yes out pastime. Everything that can be done with photo and baseball has probably already been done. so redo must be perfect. This shot is nicely composed. I like the detail and where you chose to focus. The color you put in to it is also a very good choice. Very well done

Great composition. I like the choice of bw here. It reduces distraction and puts the focus on the foreground subject. Very well done. You will probably receive comments about the frame. I like it, but it may be a bit too wide - a little overdone. 9.

Excellent DOF, nice composition. It would have been really cool if you would have been looking down from thrid base and got the batter in full swing as number 9 leads.

Thank You

nice feeling. great lighting. i feel like i'm sitting there a part of the conversation. you've done a great job to take this beyond what could have been another basic snapshot. i think your choice of border helps alot as well.

Thank You

Love the title, and the nostalgic feel of the image. It's one of those rare family "snaps" that's actually a lot more than what it first appears to be. A beautiful tribute to your parents. 8
