One of my favorites in the challenge -- amazing job capturing the mood.

Are there two or three fences between you and the subject? I think 1 would've been enough -- maybe you could've found a better angle that only included one?

If only the background could have been blurred more. I still really like it.

People are probably going to tell you, you should have taken this without the fence! Well I for one am not going to say that, I think you did an excellent job at catching the "moment of this.

Hope they got in the game eventually!

I would never have attempted this shot - but it works! well done

The double row of chain link fence is interesting. Bottom just slightly tight (cut off cup and nearly lost the girl's toe). A little lower would have fixed that and cut off some of the burnt out sky and the cup hovering above the girl's head. Nits aside, quite nice.

this is a great example of having kids in a photo where they're not being used for "cute points." i like it.

Technically nothing really wrong, but hate the fences, really steals from your shot. Photo 6 Creativity 6 Games 7 total 6

Great take on the challenge. I like it. Like the composition of the photo, too, shooting through the fence makes it stand out from your average sports shot. I know this is just one of those things, but the two layers of fence inbetween the camera and bench warmers makes the shot a little too busy. Also, what's the blue thing about the girl's head. Is that something that could've been removed before taking the shot?

nice capture of a moment in time

This is a good picture, but unfortunately there is just TOOO much fence. Its very distracting and the subject gets lost within it.
05/21/2002 03:51:00 PM
This would have been a really good shot if I didn't have to sort out the several layers of chain link fence from the subjects.
05/21/2002 11:16:00 AM
the fences really ruin this photo. by getting right up against the first fence, you could eliminate at least one. I still like the feeling of loneliness that this photo gives

I think you have done an excellent job of capturing this game with this photo. This looks like a photo that would make an excellent addition to someone's family album! good job! = 8

I was going to suggest cropping in tighter on the two on the bench, but the more I look at the image, the more I think that might be a bad idea. Too many things in the fringes of the picture that help sets its mood and give it context -- the glove in LR, the helmet LL, the kid on the left side, etc. So, I'm not sure. Maybe something to try. I really like the multiple layers of chain link fence. Good work.
05/20/2002 04:42:00 PM
hahaha...reminds me of the good ol' days
05/20/2002 01:44:00 PM
Been there...great idea, nice shot, too much to look at with all of the chain link.
05/20/2002 01:32:00 PM
Really like this shot. My only nit here would be to of cropped the right side and maybe zoomed in some. Fine composition, great creative idea.
05/20/2002 12:21:00 PM
I like this photo ! The girl and them so into the game...it just has that feel to it that makes it a 9 with me:)
05/20/2002 11:43:00 AM
Nice capture. I love the uposed quality. Those three blue cups though are unfortunate because they lead my eye to the edges of the frame, away from the subjects.
05/20/2002 08:11:00 AM
Nice shot but there is a bit too much chain link fence. It looks like there are 2 layers before you get to the subject.

You get points for working with a real life scenario and also for capturing a feel. Everything about this photo - the uniforms, the chain-mesh fence, the glove and hat on the ground - complies with my typical mental image of baseball. Well done.
