Personally I do not think you need to do anything to the shot. It gives that mystique of the days when baseball was a real game where the played "for the love of the game."

I think this shot is perfect.

One question that I have... In the grouping of people on the far right of the picture, is the person's arm coming out of the side of the picture distracting?

I'm not sure if I can clone it out very well and if I crop the picture any, I 'll lose some of the scoreboard. It might not be a big deal, but I was wondering if it is very noticeable to others.

Thanks

In the larger view the arm is noticeable but not too distracting, I don't think that you should crop it. I like the railing in the view. The upper deck is just a wee bit distracting to me, but manageable. The clouds are cool.

I really like this shot. It sets distant and calm mood. The bright light near located in the top center of the picture is very distracting.

I love the clouds they make a great background.

i really like this shot JFisher14 but can't really offer any better ideas

Remember one thing it does not violate the rule of thirds. Which is a major part of photo composition. I did not notice the arm until it was mentioned.

I like this capture as it is.
This is a superb capture.
