I like the perspective, the dirt being kicked up and the red wall as a background. Good work.

Great Shot!!! One little thing, I would rotate the picture ever so slightly so the bricks in the wall were horizontal.

I wasn't square on to the wall, so the horizontal lines won't be horizontal. Looking at the vertical lines, I'm not sure if it might still need some rotation or not. Will have to look at it further. Thanks for the suggestion.

Nice catch and even nicer capture! Perfect timing. I agree that the red wall served as a good background. What time of the day did you shoot this?

Cheers!

Great shot Steve. I see you took advantage of the sunny, warm day that graced the state!

Thanks, Eric. Don't tell anyone, but she actually dropped the ball after that shot. The ref missed it and called her out, the ump reversed it after everyone had already run off the field. Good thing too, as the slider and 2 others scored after that.

It was shot at 2:20 in the afternoon

Thanks, Lori. It was wonderful this weekend, wasn't it. Too bad the cold is back now.
