Little League

[mikedugganphotography]

Took some shots last night a a local little league game. I like how this player was standing and preparing for the next batter to come up to the plate. Compositionally, I wanted to know your thoughts. Does this work or could you suggested a different crop. The top is tight because there were red socks going up the hill (small view of them). In a print version I would leave them in because a frame and mat would cover them.

Nice shot. I alway like these comteplating moments.
Understood about the crop. I may have put less field on the left, but understand if you are trying to keep the aspect ratio.

Only thing I would suggest for future is try to get more of the face.

Also, and this isn't just your pic. I notice a lot of action/sports pictures with what I think is oversharpen the player so that they seem disconnected from the background. Almost as if they are staning in front of a background.

I think its a nice crop. Doing so at the yellow looks good in my opinion. It's a nice shot, way to use that 2.8 to your advantage.
