    Thanks, it's a little easier with AAA to camp out in the first section behind home plate...at least at the Durham Bulls it is...

    2nd shot is very nice. Not a fan of the first - the frame is dominated by an out of focus player and a ball just isn't that interesting as a subject in a throw like this. But the 2nd one is very good - the eyes are very sharp.

    nice shots. I was thinking about johng's comments about the 1st as I was looking at it... and, while I tend to agree, there is something about the player being OOF that makes you look for what is in focus, thus your eye falls on the ball. Personally, I think it's impressive that you got the ball that sharpthumb.gif

    If you are a batter, the ball is the only thing that is in focus. As a picture, I guess it could be boring, but to a batter, you are getting ready to swing. I like it.
