Dylan: All Star 2009

My son just finished his final year of Little league as a 12 yr. old...boy does time fly! I wanted to commemorate the milestone and have something placed on canvas, probably a wrap.....on to Junior League!

Much more creative than me.

For a large print on canvas I would prefer the larger image to be the "original" and the smaller to have the background effect.

Also, I dont think the flames add much

Thanks.....I tried it both ways, with/without flames...showed it to Dylan and he liked it, but not sold on them myself either. Just seemed to fit his 60 mph fastball..LOL!:lol:

Well you (and your son) are the ones who have to look at it everyday so that is what matters.

The issue I have with the flame is that his glove is not what should be on fire...either his arm or ball would complete the story IMO

Very nice. Agree with Matt's suggestions.

True to a point...but the ball that's in his glove was used to strike-out the last two batters (swinging) and this particular pitch he was about to throw was strike three to retire the side...in his very last Little League All-Star game! Due to the pitch count rule he moved to SS....I still hate that rule!

Looks great... I think i would like it more without the flames.

Re-worked w/o flames....I like them both....I'll let Dylan decide for the print. Thanks for everyone's input.

What about real flames coming up where the dirt ends and the background image starts?

Looking again I think my main issue with the flames is how fake they are..what about with real flames?

Or maybe the text with flames

Anyway, there is nothing wrong with either post above and again as long as your son is happy you have succeeded for sure!

I think the bigger picture needs the opacity raised, a little. The smaller picture kind of takes away from the bigger one...Either way still an exellent idea..
