Hola Alex!
El momento es magnífico, y el movimiento también... ;-)
La profundidad de campo está muy bien conseguida, lo justo para no molestar al primer plano, pero dando la información del lugar. Como única propuesta, hubiera optado por desplazarme un pelin hacia la dercha para que el lanzador quedase bien encuadrado debajo del bate. Pero bueno, eso es siendo muy pero que muy exigente, porque en fotos así, tan improvisadas y a tomar en el momento, lo conseguido es un merito.

hasta otra,

Javier

Girls always hit better than boys, Alex !

(:-))))

Fantastic photo !!!
Ready to conquer the mass media...
Ready to be publish, to be print in million copies....
My advice: Try to call some shots around and sell the picture (some newspapers, magazines, book publishers...(??)
Ask for a good bucks, buddy.
It's worthy every price.

Really decisive moment! Great pov and composition!
I agree with Polonaise: girls always hit better! :-)
Well done, Chiaretta.

I think this is excellent Alex - really well timed, and with nicely judged depth of field.
I like the overall darkness of the image too, which gives the feeling of that time when afternoon turns to evening.
The only thing I would say is that I would prefer a slight shift to the framing so that there was a gap between the bowler and the girl.
Excellent work.

Cheers,
Ben

Excellent image Alex, you couldnt have captured this at the perfect time with the ball place right onto the bat. Love the background bokeh...so much tension and atmosphere.

Hello Alex,
This is a great action shot! I love the POV with the girl's back to the camera, and the wonderful bokeh, especially of the pitcher in the center. You captured the ball and bat at just the right moment. Everything falls together perfectly.
