I like this image a lot and not because of some great compositional contribution but because it's a perfect called inside strike at the knees that pushed the hitter back and you KNOW it's that way because you can see the ball descending past his knees as it crosses the plate and the shadow of the ball, about the cross the plate, shows it'll pass right over the corner of the plate. And yes, it was a called strike. So I've combined my two passions here in one moment. Yes, I wish he had been looking up a little to see his face, but it's a baseball moment: ephemeral and intense. <http://www.idea-processing.com/Images/CalledInsideStrike.jpg> And, no, this wasn't shot in multiple image mode. I don't shoot baseball that way any more. I've learned that here. Training for the moment, having situational awareness is so much more important than shooting at 10 fps. Thanks to Ted and all of you for helping me see better. Your comments are welcome and invited. Adam
