    Re: Base Hit

    Hello Lionheart,

    I wish I could make relevant comments on all your baseball pictures but frankly, I am unknowledgeable about baseball so for what it's worth:

    I like the composition, the lighting and the color saturation and how you froze the guy while still having the bat in motion. Actually my only concern is about the croped feet...

    Your two other pictures would probably need a narrower dof as the background is distracting. Also, the colors seems flat. I can't really say anything else considering my baseball culture (or lack of....).

    regards

    Seb

    What? Baseball isn't as Canadian as maple syrup, Molson Golden, Labatt's Blue, and Hockey? Kidding. I'm Canadian btw Couldn't help cropping the feet, it was that way when I snapped the shot, but the saturation is a bit flat. How's this?

    i feel you oversaturated it on the second attached picture. maybe like 1/2-3/4 of that would work better for me. The redness in the face just makes it look unrealistic.

    I preferred the less saturated version, but perhaps somewhere in between would be right. Good catch in mid swing and aside from the foot being cropped, I would have thought it better to not have the pole behind the batters head, or much less dof. But I think he is too close to the bg for it to have been blured out enough. Still , a good moment in action. Timing was right.
