    go tighter on the first shot, and work with the color a bit, and you'll have a good shot. The second one's cropped wrong. If your focus is going to be on the batter (which i assume you want it to be) don't include nearly as much of the catcher. And lead the action. Give the batter somewhere to hit the ball. Don't cut off the entire right side of the frame.

    Other than the grass being brown the color looks fine in #1...as far as I can tell thats how the grass there is as there is a patch of green that is green..the DOF is off though and the background could be blurred more.
    You could leave a bit of space on the right if you want, however I know the papers I shoot for would have cropped everything but the batter if they used a shot like this. They'd rather have the batters face though.

    i wasnt saying there was a tint to it. I was just saying the color's bland. Play with curves and saturation, and you could make it pop.
