Hi Everyone.....I don't normally enter photo many contests but at the urging from a great photographer friend...I entered this photo with Little League Baseball for their 2014 Little League Photo Contest.

I shot this last year in the Hanover Norman "Rab" Abrecht Memorial Tournament for 8 & 9 year olds.
It has been voted but Little League judges as one of the 10 finalists and I'd appreciate as many votes as I can get.

There are no prizes associated with winning this contest, however, the overall winner will have the photo displayed in the Peter McGovern Little League Museum in Williamsport.

I believe the votes are tallied by the number of LIKES each image gets. Please note that voting ends on Friday, December 12th.

I'd really appreciate your support with LIKES and I'd love for this to be displayed in the museum not only for winning the contest...but for my years associated with being involved as a Little League Volunteer as a Board Member, Coach and Little League President that encompassed about 13 years.

Also send to family and friends and I'd appreciate their support as well.

If anyone has any questions...please don't hesitate to message me, e-mail me or call me direct.

Also...here is a link to the the other finalists; www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152533123958030.1073741849.83124013029&type=1

I FORGOT TO MENTION....GO TO THE LINK WITH ALL THE FINALISTS AND CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO VOTE / LIKE. DON'T LIKE ON MY FACE BOOK POST.

Thank You All in Advance
Frank

that's a nice image...asking a question..how did the eyes ,tip of nose and bottom left of chin come out so sharp, whereas the lips are "softer" in comparison? The chest protector is sharp.......were those areas "worked on" by some pp techniques?
Don't construe that I'm in any way knocking the image, its very well done....I was just curious how something in so close of proximity is softer than the immediate area surrounding it without it being a dof thing, like the ear area or way back there on the shirt sleeve for instance where dof would be expected to be effected...if that makes sence...appreciate the upcoming educational lesson.

Thanks everyone...I really appreciate your support. So far I'm in second place by a pretty good margin to the little guy in the wheelchair....but a very large margin. I did come to learn that the top three with the most Likes will be used...so that's a plus.

Craig....to be honest I didn't notice any softness to the lips. No editing other than the B&W conversion...USM and resizing were done because of contest guidelines. Regarding the lips....as I look at it more (I need to look at the original yet) but I think (not 100% sure) that the lips may just be that way and have a smooth texture to them which makes them appear soft.

Frank
