Nice photo, Mandy! Interesting angle and framing!

Another great angle!

@ManuelaR Photography: Thanks Manuela!!
Yes, the angle is so effective in this particular photo. I am so reminded of my son when he was around the same age, he played in the outfield, wore his uni well, and... thoroughly enjoyed picking clovers blooming at his feet (once, when he got distracted as nothing came his way).

@Viewfinder: hahaha...Thanks VF. And thanks for the great visual of your son - it's so reminiscent of the first time we tried out baseball for Ethan...he and the little guy next to him were so busy talking about something that the ball sped right past them!!! :)
Cool - but it doesn't look like a baseball field...just guessing - a cricket pitch?

@Walt: Nope, it's a baseball field.......it was in the far outfield. The little guys play on a much smaller field so they just place the bases anywhere on the field so they can play more than one game at a time.
Did you have to down on the ground for this? Cause is very professional in its perspective and angle

@Amir: Thanks Amir. I didn't lie down on my stomach but I did crouch down really low.
awwww , he looks smaller than the base ....lol... nice capture :o)

Great waiting shot! I like his pose and your framing ! Very well done.

Great shot! My son spent most of his time in the outfield digging in the dirt at this age--lol. This little guy is _really_ focused! Wonderful!

25 Oct 2007 8:42pm
Absolutely fantastic angle and DOF! This is another first-class portrait, my dear friend!! Ethan is so well-poised for action, he is a star in his own right!! Way to go, Ethan!! :)
25 Oct 2007 8:47pm
Oh, he looks ready! Nice perspective Mandy:)
25 Oct 2007 10:58pm
I've never had the confidence to try this kind of skewed perspective shot, myself. It's worked out well here.

@Andrew Gould: Hey Andrew - thanks so much!! i LOVE taking skew shots...as you might've noticed!!! hahahaha
