I like the concept and the execution, but something bugs me about it. The poster is about the baseball player, and there is more poster spaced dedicated to other things (colors, the indian head background) than him. I believe that *he* should be the main focus and should be the largest object.

Yeah, that bugs me too.......I'm trying to decide how to balance out all that space on the left.......maybe just make him much bigger??
I like the way you have used the uniform color scheme to your advantage, I like the watermark of the club logo, I like the concept behind the three shots.
What I do not like is the layering of the three shots - I find the extra limbs bothersome.
So, my first thought is to offset the shots from each other. Have them overlap less, and move across the canvas from right to left some more. This would also deal with the issue of having too little of the space devoted to the player.

Maybe this is how to address the "dead space" issue.
Ann, thanks for your honest input, I will try just exactly what you said the next time I do one of these. I think that is a great idea!
a like the second version better, but I still think there isnt enough face or distinction between the back two layers to make it worth keeping, just looks busy. a parent wont really get it. Its about the Kid , one good shot would be best.
And maybe the name is a easier font to read, two frilly fonts is a bit much on the eyes.
The first is much better. Instead of layering back to front, why not do your
motion right to left and and at maybe 50% opacity and about 2/3 of the
the last shot which you use as the top image?

I agree with this suggestion. I don't care for the "frilly" font either, and the font color blends too much with the BG to me.
I really like the ideas you have on this. I think a few little things may help. His name in another color so it stands out and can be read easier, and throw a picture of him at the plate of batting in the lower left area of the firts poster layout. Just my 2 cents.
