I like the first one. Second one would have been better from other side so you can see the face more.

agreed and sharp for wide open. I probably would have been at f4 and 400 ISO to be safe but these are nice. Bobby's right on with the second...I almost always shoot batters from the same side they are (left for lefties if that wasn't clear). If I am shooting from the opposite side, I consider it lucky circumstance to have any keepers unless they happen to be watching a hit ball.

I like them both very much. Nice and sharp with good color. Nice work!

I agree with 2 but when I tried to shoot from that side of the diamond I got yelled at by the fans and I was only allowed to stay with in a 5 foot area so I stayed put, luckily most of the batters were leftys

I thought you shoot batters so you can see their face rather than their back?

I'm not sure if there is such a thing as a correct side or not, but I usually shoot them so I can see their face when batting. Meaning righties from 1st base side and lefties from 3rd base side. I have good pictures of righties and lefties from both sides. A lot of it depends on the batters swing and how much they open after they swing or coming out of the box. The batter coming out of the box is one of my all time favorite shots. Look at my SS page, you'll see pics of both right and left handed batters shot from both sides of the plate.

As for your shots, color and sharpness both look good but they need to be cropped tighter. Shoot tight and crop tighter!
