I like everybody's stare at the plate including the kid behind the fence w/ the glasses. Wish the ball was in the frame, although that can't always be helped.

Timing is everything. If you could have captured the ball in mid-air on its way to the catcher's mitt, it would have earned you at least 2 extra points, if not more.

What a great capture! Love the faces of everyone involved. The ump, so very serious and attentive - the catcher, really concentrating on what it is he has to concentrate on (the ball, not the runner), and the runner, off the ground, eye on the prize. Yeah, the background is busy, but hey, it's a city ballpark - it's what life is. Nice.

Very good capture. I love all the facial expressions. The 3 fences make the backdrop an eyesore, but what can you do.

Love this - it's full of life and action. The colors happen to all go well together. Even though it's busy, there's a good flow.
