p.1 #1 · #389 Boys of Summer

I know it's not summer yet but it is a sure sign that spring is here. I've been waiting for months for my favorite game to begin. Today was the first home game for my local college baseball team. This is my favorite shot from the day and I think it fits well with this weeks theme.

Good entry! The intensity of the throw and freeze frame of the ball is wonderful! Good luck...

I love the motion and the shallow depth of focus this image has. A perfect entry for the WA. Well done!

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Here is another take of the same subjects but a different DOF.

I prefer the first shot but both pics are great illustrations for the assignment.

I personally find the origanal post much more interesting. The moment and expression captured on the pitcher's face is what makes the shot.

Something about the composition of the second image makes me feel like I'm standing behind the action and really don't have much to look at.

The first photo is a well capture photo, the second would be a wasted shot for a photographer if he was going to try and sell it, as most people would not be interested in showing a picture of someones side view a frontal or face view would be much better.

I agree, the original is a much stronger image. I just posted the second one just to show a different take on the same subject.
