My back hurts just looking at him.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Chris Anderson

You'll not get much critique from me as I've never shot anything so nice. Thanks very much. The shots really aren't that great of a capture on my part. I was prefocused on second base so when the throw went high the second baseman turned it into a good capture. Chris Anderson

True, but from a photojournalistic viewpoint I'd rather the viewer know the outcome of the play by looking rather than having to say in the caption "___ was out on the play". Conor - my flickr

Jun 27, 2008 15:07 | #14 I posted these two photos not to have the viewer guess whether the runner was "safe" or "out." I did so because I was so impressed by the second baseman's ability to go high to make the catch and still get his glove down to make the tag, all while still high in the air. In looking at the image he appears to have never come down from the peak of his leap but if you look at his thighs you can see in the bottom image that they are bent a tad and his feet are a bit higher as he is bending his legs up as he swings his arm down to apply the tag, thereby giving the illusion that he hasn't moved much. My favorite part of the image is the tape wrapped around the toe of his right shoe. Chris Anderson
