I can't add anything that hasn't been said, just wanted to agree that the crisp white and blue is really appealing.

Wow... first I need to know what variety that is... so I can add it to my garden.
Tricky to get the rich color and still keep the bright white. Maybe this spring you can catch another one with a contrasting background. But still, the deep orange really glows, so I wouldn't mess with it.

I like the triangular composition in this shot.
probably would have looked better without the catcher in it at all.
thats mainly because once noticed its hard to look anywhere else.
Great timing to get the kid in mid air like that.
I particularly like the color saturation in this photo and the way its controlled to keep attention on the runner.
Backgrounds are always hard to keep good but try to look out for verticals as they are very deceptive .

Beautiful lighting and very nice colors indeed. The composition is very nice, though I might would have widened it even more.

It is too bad the kit is cut off but it is pretty cool he's up in the air. I wish we could see the kids face too.

Very strong action shot here. Love how he is coming back for the pitch. For some reason the board is kind of distracting, but I guess that really could be helped because of where he is. The lighting is great too.

Hi Rachael, Great picture but I think it would've been better against a contrasting background. I think you're right it does tend to blend with the water. Next time play with the light a little too, it'll add to the effect of the contrasting background.

I like the shot. Beautiful colours, very peaceful. I'd try and crop out the snow in the foreground and possibly also the road. I think they both somewhat distract you from the barn and tree and alter the balance of the picture without been "points of interest" in their own right. Great shot though!

I understand way you like this, very beautiful mix of color, and right, shame the car are in foto. I do think it was OK to remove them in PS, the other thing to do was to crop the buttom, but that would not be the same.
The foto is right compoced with the ground and big tree in left side.

Hi Rachelle, I kinda stumbled onto this one late in the game but anyway......
I like the composition 'as is' the road gives it a point of reference. As stated before: it's not worth beating yourself up about, and besides winter is always coming! Go back, reframe, whatever next time it snows....or....maybe not?
Only thing I might try is to convert to greyscale and play with the contrast etc.
don't worry about 'simple'-simple is good for people like me
Anthony

There is nothing wrong with "simple." Some shots on Usefilm are remarkable for their profound simplicity. This shot by you is very good, I think. Somebody suggested you crop out the road. I agree. That would make the photo even simpler, because one element would be removed. Then I think you need to make the photo "pop" be playing a little but with "levels." The shy, the tree, the barn--three simple elements that are good enough.

Nice capture! Quick reflexes with the camera also. The puffs of dirt caused by the ball really make this shot imho. Gives a real good feel of the speed and action of what is taking place. Batter nice and sharp while frozen in the air, good use of shutter speed. DOF of the pitcher and SS is is good also.
Only thing I can think of to add would be that it would have been cool if you could have gotten the rest of the catcher in the shot. Oh well, we can't have everything!
nice....
