Really like 3 better than 2 -- for the simple fact that 3 looks like it was a "game capture" while 2 likely was a ground ball rolled over from the first baseman between innings. The only thing I don't like about #3 is the blasted yellow fence cap, but it is what it is. #6 is really good too and would be better if you lose the fence cap. If it weren't so freaking bright and the shadows weren't so harsh you would have had yourself a real winner.

Good stuff.
Thanks Rick, yeah I tended to think #3 was better...#2 was actually hit pretty well, and I had another like that (below). They were hit hard enough where the SS didn't have to charge the ball
#6, good catch, I'll crop that lower. I didn't bother dodging the shadows like I did in #4 because the eyes weren't really visible.
Very nice set, Chris. I have to agree with Rick, that #2 doesn't look like a very aggressive play (flat footed). The last one you added is better, but I would still give the nod to #3.
+1 on the choice of #3, for what Rick and Bill said. From a baseball perspective, #3's not too flattering- he's flat on his heels and the glove isn't out in front.
Aside from the bg, 6 is sweet, and 7 is looking good with that clean bg and fully loaded pitcher. Btw, what's up with the mound?
Good looking set, Chris- you captured some player intensity.

Great set, Chris. You could cut steak with these images! I also prefer 3 over 2, but I wouldn't throw #2 away.
Ha ha, thanks Russ, and for the feedback.

Thanks Tom...and for the additional critique.
Mound? What mound? it was pretty flat, almost all the way up to the rubber.
