I finally got out to shoot for the first time this year. I took these at the local h.s. baseball diamond. Let me know what you think of these. Thanks.

I like #1 best, I think it would be neat if you had a couple of ballplayers blurred into the background. Baseball is my cup ot tea....

Crop a little of the top of the background out and see what that looks like.

I like the color version but photo quality aside, where is the snow? Isn't this the first week of January? In Michigan?

26th straight day of above normal temperatures, and 8th straight day over 42. I've used my snow blower for 10 minutes so far. Can't believe it------but I'll take it.

Snow? What is this snow you speak of? :P
I dont live in Michigan but I live in Ohio and we've barely seen snow at all this winter :cryin:


I love the first picture. The colors are perfect and the red in the stitching of the baseball is just vibrant enough. good eye

the second one looks a little cramped to me and the black and white doesnt have as nice of an affect.

What do you mean hurry spring. I am still waiting for winter!

John, i like the b&w version because of the tighter crop and the b&w brings me a nostalgic feel to it. I am still waiting for winter here, I do like the cold crisp air and I'm feeling cheated so far.

John,

Not seen this seem to missing photos. However, its the B&W for me as far as composition goes.

The colour one needs something else in the picture, fuzzy people... Like Greg said.
