Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: While not nearly the superiority of much of your work, the technical aspects of this image is pretty strong. I like the crisp, clean focus on the player, and the depth of field makes this one pop nicely.

Lighting: I think that your lighting is reversed. The background is a little too bright, thus making the subject look a little too dark.

Composition/Content: The background is a bit too busy for my liking. I'd like to see it with out the outfielder and the passing truck on the left side. I do like the inclusion of the ball, as well as the entire form of the player.

My Opinion: Even with the mild flaws, this is a nice image. Again, not nearly the strength of the work you normally produce, but still pretty nice.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

You beat the heck out of your prediction and I do think it's an interesting angle AND shows action - the presence of the ball in the frame is perfect for that. Best part, though, is the determination on his face - very nicely timed and captured!

The best one I have seen so far. A 10. I know how much timing it takes to get a photo like this. Good job.

Great composition, it almost looks posed but then you see the player in the background and you realize this was no one shot wonder.
