Heading For A Triple

[Baseball Nut]

This is my son as he was rounding 2nd base on his way to 3rd for a triple.

As you can see I did a little Photoshop work on this one making everything else but him black & white. I like how it turned out.

This was taken with my previous camera, a Canon S5IS.

personally the selective coloring does not belong in sports... lets see the full color version.

Here is the color version for comparison.

Much better but crop it tight!

[canonnoob]

yup definatly prefer the color version

Thanks. I orginally did crop it in tighter from the right side but felt the player in the outfield picking up the ball added a little to the scene, but then again I guess the main subject of the photo is my son, so that is what it should be focused on.

Thanks again.

Larry,
I like the selective color, but the black and white parts are very bright. what if you darkened everything but your son.... and Maybe even only reveal the red.. leave his face and everything else B&W.

Great shot
