[QUOTE="Kodiak, post: 170166, member: 15426"] Hi Donald, [I]If you had specified "pro" or "advanced" I would have more to say… but I see "newbie" so I will address your question very seriously keeping in mind that that at pro level, there are some expectations as at other levels… I am just happy to see posts coming from you.[/I] The first shot, as pedrej noted, should be straighten. Otherwise, the houses are at the lower third, just fine. What may irritate others is that the hills are about half way in the frame. Personally, I think that a few clouds in the sky would just balance this (nothing is more boring than a cloudless sky!). So for the 1st. The second, this may be a little tricky: the exposition is wrong! Yes, I know, the hi-lites and the shadows are well balanced… but in reality it is never like that! You see, the backlit horses should be darker on the shadow side. The long shadows on the groung definitely prove the early evening hours (or early morning!), and, at these times, the scene should exhibit the dramatic light mood that is expected. IMO, cropping the green over the roofs, afar, would help keep the eyes on the track. Otherwise pretty good! [B]Your third shot is the one I fancy![/B] By far not as good as the others because it is containing very bad elements that cannot be corrected as easily as in 1 & 2, but the best editorial content of the 3. The sh…tty, ugly backstop posts are there like in every ball park… but look at the boy, f…ck the posts, he's eye-balling the pitcher with such concentration… this is a great shot. This is a moment in a lifetime, and a beautiful one. I, as a father, would be proud to show a picture like this of my son. I, as a photographer, would be proud too because the exposure is perfect, the contrast, the rendition… even the frame is perfect (maybe too much headroom!), and other photographers would appreciate just that: a moment in the life of a son! …for it's editorial value!
