Baseball Action[edit]

Original - The first baseman attempts to catch the ball to make a putout.
Alt - Just in case.
Reason
It may be a high school game but I think the photos are illustrative and high quality.

  • Oppose They're both just too snapshotty. Cut-off heads, awkward composition (where did that ball come from in the first image!); and it'd be easy to get a better shot with higher EV. SingCal 08:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Baseball is a tough sort to shoot. The ball in the orig came from the third baseman who is visible in the right of the picture. The alt could do with a crop to get the ump out of the picture all together. A better shot with resolution anywhere near these might be harder to get than you think, but have at it if you can find one. -Fcb981(talk:contribs) 15:23, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Yes, Baseball is a tough sport to shoot. I know, I shoot a lot of little league games. But these pictures are nothing out of the ordinary. Clegs (talk) 22:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
