Little Brother and his Buddy

My little brother(in white) had the privilege to help out some mentally challenged kids who were playing games at Angels Stadium. I had the privilege to take some pictures. I've gotten some mixed critique about this picture.. what does POTN think?

Personally, I think it would be better if the boys were on the right side of the frame.
Couldn't tell you specifically why, but I've only been at this a year and still learning a whole lot. lol.

I personally like it.. would of been a cool idea if you would have had them facing the field though IMO

Yeahh the problem was that they were facing they're field.(there were several mini fields set up) So in the picture it looks like they are looking off to the side.

What post process did you do on this?

i like the picture but i think i'd like it more if you didn't cut the picture off at mid calf.

A good photograph tells a story with a minimum of verbal set up. IMO this image doesn't make it.
The question is, if we didn't have the information about the kids in advance, could we see what was going on at the location. My guess is the answer is no.

What I see is poor comp, and poor framing of two boys in BB uniforms. One is scratching his behind.
Nothing about the image tells me about the boys, what has or has not happened and why.
