Overall I like it but don't like the reflection going right across the pupil.

Well stot, but I'd prefer more room on the left for this fellow (gal?) to look into... giving him room to be alive...

Hello from the Critique Club

First Reaction Oh no, there go the pants... Actually I said Nice. Even though I am a Nationals fan!

Technically
Good lighting, nice DOF, and focus, nice stop action, love that he is in air. Great color

Composition is good, not sure that I care what base he is heading for, we know he is sliding somewhere, and the ball must be close behind.
I like the crowd in the background.

Nice all around picture, and congrats!

Thanks for allowing me to critique your photo.

Keep shooting and have fun.

Karen

Greetings from the Critique Club

Wow, this is a bright flower, for sure.

My first reaction on seeing this image was, "oh dear, over-saturated". I think this flower would have been effective if the color had not been boosted quite so much, and even for a macro shot, it would have been nice to have more of the petals in better focus.

But you met the Challenge, and you're back in competion here at DPC and I certainly hope to see more of your work in the future. You have a good eye.

All right, here is the thing.

this is an ok image. I just say ok because you have left out part of the story...the ending.

I know this is baseball. I know he is about to slide. But, slide to what? Second? Third? Home? The dugout? The hot dog stand? His car? What?

Comp could be tighter, too much negative space on bottom and right of frame, great color, good capture but not a crisp capture, excellent emotional value, excellent dof, story telling poor, over all try again
