 I actually took this picture to give to my grandfather because he is the biggest baseball fan ever. I hadn't planned on entering it into this challenge, I had another locale in mind, but as usual Tuesday came and has almost gone, so I believe this will do. I do think that it certainly fits this Perspective challenge.

Technically I am pleased with this photo. I like the angles of the building and I like the point of view of the bat. I have grown to love B&W, so I am entering what I believe is my fourth B&W entry in a row. I think it does a lot for the photo and adds to the "drama" of the composition. I am not really a baseball fan, so to me this picture lacks something and I don't think it is my best, but I find it pleasing if nothing more.

Oh! Almost forgot:
Curves
Unsharp Mask
Channel Mixer

This is AWESOME - the black and white make it worthy of hanging on my wall even though I am not a sports fan of any kind.

Great perspective - excellent dop. You hit a homerun with this in my opinion. I like that you went with B&W.
