    Girls Softball from last week

    Well it has taken me this long to get through a major allergy episode...UGH...which is unusual for me, since I don't usually have allergies...

    But anyway....got some shots at the girls softball game and though I would see what you guys thought....

    Tried to get a JS shot...LOL...but I have a way to go with that.....

    Your timing is AWESOME Betty. The only thing I see is the aperture. Other then that AMAZING!

    P.S.

    JS will be proud because there is a ball in every single pic!

    Also I noticed your horizons!

    Wonderful job!! Great action in each of your shots and you got the ball. My only little nit is like JETA pointed out got to watch that aperture and keep the DOF nice and shallow to blur distracting backgrounds and people.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    ::::sniff:::: and thank you! You are among my mentors so you are in good hands.

    Your pics are good with the small apertures. Just think what they are going to look like when you open up that baby.
