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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
