 I know this isn't going to do well. I had some other ideas for shooting knees and below at the SF Giants vs. Braves postseason NLDS opener. But Tim Lincecum pitched such an amazing game, I had to pay tribute. I took pictures of about half of the strikeouts from the 3rd deck in left field. The first strikeout was the one that cropped the cleanest.

Simple edit-
Rotate and crop
Levels
Saturation
Unsharp mask
Levels again

I will upload more shots from the game to my flickr after voting closes. GO GIANTS!

This probably resonated more with the Giants fans lol. Shots like these are interesting because you can see how much a players body contorts while moving. Good luck to your team!

There have been other photo's in this challenged cropped like this, I'm not a huge fan. It makes me think you are just using a picture you already had and cutting it in half to make it work for the challenge. I think this picture would have been much more interesting with the faces in it but then it wouldn't have worked for the challenge.

strange angle. I think this is a good photo just, to me, personally, its boring. still give you a high rating though, original idea.
