This is a shot of Fenway park, shot during an Indians/Red Sox game in May '07. Taken with my Sigma wide angle from the Monster Seats (the best place to watch baseball ever!)
Editing was simple. Levels, curves, crop, resize, some dodging to lighten the shadowed crowd, usm, save for web.
It won't win, but I love it, and I thought that I would share it with everyone.

This isn't Tiger Stadium :D ... great shot, wish I could see the Green Monster, but I realize you're standing on it! One of my 'holy grail' baseball moments will be Fenway ...
Very cool perspective and good use of wide angle. The large negative spaces of the outfield and sky contrast well with the busy infield and crowd.
One issue I have with the image is that it gives everything away. I'm not left wondering or piecing together aspects of what "could have been there". Much like comparing reading a book to watching a movie, there's little left to the imagination. It's still a good image from a technical aspect.
