I shot this candid while at the White Sox-Yankees game on Saturday afternoon. The Southsiders won 7-6!

These three boys were in the front row and stood like this the whole game - completely engrossed in every pitch, every pop fly, everything. I took this shot during the first inning of the game. Oh, do I wish I had the email of the father, as I am sure this would be a great keepsake of the game.

Processing: Lightroom adjustments of exposure, blacks, clarity, opened in CS4, converted to b&w with a high contrast yellow filter, cropped, levels adjustment, resized, Adamus sharpening, resize for web, border.

Definetly a "feel good" type photograph. Excellant choice to go Black & White.

B&W gives this shot a nice old time feel.

Very cute. Reminds me of my youth, except I was always a lot higher up, and the stadium was next door. Seems to be a bit noisy, but it helps to give it an old-timey feel.

This is a picture that tells a story. It's not just a snapshot. What it is, is a book that will take you to each of it's characters (the kids) and to what they are thinking right this moment. Loved the way you decided to keep it B&W. 7/10!

Sorry, not a Yankees fan, but this is an adorable picture. Here's a 7 from a Red Sox fan.
