Baseball pic

My brother moved into a new apartment and I am making him some baseball themed pics to go along with a pic of Wrigley Field. Let me know what you think.

I like it a lot. The only thing I would do differently (if possible) is to lighten the glove a bit, and maybe just a tad less of the vignetting. Other than that, it's a classic shot.

I am kinda liking it... as is. If it were me, I would print it up and be happy with it.

I like the shot, but it does look a bit dark to me for my taste.

I agree it's a little dark. At first glance, I couldn't tell the other object was a glove. Bring out the glove a bit more and I think you've got a winner there.

Thanks for the help everyone! Is this edit better?

Your 2nd edit is very nice----I love it!

love it...

the second version looks better to me. nice work!

Thanks everyone. After looking at the two it was kind of dark.

Would a differnt background be better? ie grass instead of wood? Any suggestions on what to use? This was just a test shot and I need to re-shoot anyway since I accidenlty saved it at 800x600 and at a lower quality for the web.

I really like this a lot. Very nice!

Try it on grass, see what happens. The wood looks pretty good though.

Nice job.

couldn't hurt to try it on grass, but I like the wood. looks like it is sitting on the bench waiting to be taken out to the field.

Here is my try. The pic looks very good but I wanted to try it a little different since I have nothing else to do. I like the idea on the wood but you will never know until you try it on grass
