My favorites are number 2 and number 5. I like number two for the different angle you put on it, however it would have been cool if the baseman "woman" had been in focus as well. I like number five because it is a good framing, (you didn't have the pole sticking out of her body) and because of the timing.

Do you happen to know if any of the players are from the Aledo area (west of Fort Worth) since the high school is ranked number one nationally in softball?

I'm always scared to crop that tight. But I think you have changed my mind on that. GREAT SERIES!:D

Well I learned from Dennis (dmwierz) to frame tight and crop tighter :)

Now these are cropeed too tight for selling prints due to the different aspect ratios but for media and critique tighter is better.

I appreciate all the comments.... hope to add a few of day 2 and 3 later tonight.

#4 is definitely my favorite; great angle, action is captured at it's peak with the resolution in slight doubt and a full reflection of the intensity of the sport. A lot of people like the batting shots, but the infield plays are the best for me...


Why yes, I DO shoot people—and they pay me well for it.:D

Thanks dshootist. I was surprised I didnt get more comments on #4 as I felt is was the best of the bunch also. If only her eyes were showing!

I appreciate all the comments. 4 days in the Dallas heat almost was the end of me!
