I really pushed the colors on some of these. I like the look, but would appreciate comments.

    I really like these, especially #1 & #2. The player is so sharp (great expressions) and I like the nicely blurred background. I've always favored the more saturated sports photos so I like what you did with the color.

    These look great! thumb.gifthumb.gifthumb.gif
    The photoshop pic you may have moved the ball a little too much.

    The pitcher shot is by far the best but it needed a little faster shutter speed. In the last pic, I hope you didn't move the ball. If the pics are just for yourself or the parents that one thing but if you shoot for a newspaper or media outlet that is a big time no-no.

    I like the shots too - but the last one (the photoshopped one) I don't think it works. If the ball were truly in the mitt, the player would already be closing his glove around it. Also, he is still obviously looking out towards where the ball should be. So it looks photoshopped imo.

    Otherwise, good shots.

    I prefaced this as a PS experiment. That's all it is.

    PS: I did print the one with the short stop and his glove ready (without the ball) and gave it to the parents - they were thrilled!
