Love the contrasts of new, old, twisted and rusty.

Greetings from the Critique Club,

One of the first and most distracting things that I see in this image is the lighting; I know you don’t have much control with this. The backs of the pants appear to be overexposed and the dark background really exaggerates this. Also the dark areas like the boy on the lefts glove and the runner’s uniform almost disappear into the wall. The focus seems to be a bit off as well. The color could be a little brighter the uniforms look faded and dull while the socks look over saturated.

The way the two boys are looking off too the left leads you eyes out of the frame instead of leading into it. Just moving your angle to the right about 75 degrees would improve the photo dramatically, showing the boy about to touch the base while the ball was coming toward them giving it more suspense as well as showing all three faces. The dust is a good element but perhaps there is a little too much.

Thank you for entering this in I hope everything I said helped you, feel free to PM me if you have any questions for me.

Nick

8 - Good 'moment' capture. Criticism; richer colors, focus further in the fore (to me it looks like the first patch of grass is in focus). Maybe a tighter crop. Dust is good. Just the focus and sharpness, lighting is likely difficult with the black background. Also to gain more 'feel' on the 'red' players' faces would be better, for me.

Wonderful. I like how you have capture three different angles of the players. The word 'Crusher' on their uniforms makes me laugh. Especially considering there are two crushers on either side of a small member from the other team. Very intimidating. Well done. Judi

Nice shot. Good lighting. Maybe a little sharper to bring out the subjects.

The back and foreground contrast a bit much. Action and color gr8.
