The Out: Fast Runner, Faster Ball

Comment by Jedusi:
This has grown on me from when I first viewed it.

While it's obviously nice to have captured the ball in the shot, what really works for me is the diagonal it forms between the ball entering top left, and the catcher waiting for it bottom right. The shot is perfectly cropped to keep both players in the frame forming another lower diagonal running bottom left to mid right, and the triangle of grass shows that there is more outside of this picture than just brown dirt.

The figures are crisp and clear, and have a natural tension between the one running and frozen in time, and the other frozen waiting for the ball to make it's way down the picture.

Or at least that's how I see it :- )

Good shot.

I enjoy shots like that, that make me study them. I love the harsh contrast and the movement of the man through the stripes.

I love how the word "free" is right inside the circle of the wheel. Very neat shot!

Beautiful - the unusual point of view gives the image a whole new perspective and meaning. It feels a lot more personal than if you had just shot the butterfuly from above - making the butterfly seem like more than just an insect. Excellent work!

Very weird. In the thumb, this looks like a strange hand!

Wonderful wonderful shaddows!!!! I am soooo jealous!! :)
I love the texture of the floor tiles with the lines the shaddows have cast, and then the square shapes on the person and the wall. All the elements here, combine beautifully to form a very pleasing image!
Love it!!

Your D200 just zeroed right in on the cute little Canon didn't it. It's thinking with it's lens LOL.
Seriously though, it is a very cool image. Her expression makes the image come to life.
