Baseball Player Pose

Big Red

I think I have gotten tired of seeing the same old player poses year after year in my sons' leagues. I had been thinking of some new poses that I would like to try and got about 30 seconds to take a shot of my son before the other team took over the dugout. What do you think of this pose and the edits? Thanks

Big Red, I hear ya on the same old pose, but this one depresses me. Maybe a topaz treatment, but it just looks dark and like he's been benched...

I think the monochrome images might be a bit sad, but I don't feel that as much in the color.

This seems like a good departure, though, and I applaud it.

I like the color shot the best. My one tidbit, and I'm sure it's just the way your son likes to wear his hat, but I don't like seeing the underside of the bill. Other than that, I like your take on a differnt style pose for an individual shot.
