Yes, definitely well timed. But what grabs my attention is the texture from the fence overlaid on the people behind and the background. I like it - but don't know why!

Steve
Thanks. I was also shooting through a chain link fence.

When the ball and the bat make contact at just the right spot, it's over the fence for a home run.

A big like from me!!

Interesting seeing angles in an ICM image rather than just the usual swirls and blurry blobs.

Why I like ICM.....you never know what you'll get. In this one I used an up/down..left/right movement. I didn't plan it, but apparently the backlighting of the pine trees/branches created the angles.

Odd man out I guess, as I prefer the 2nd. In the first there's some nice little details in the foreground, but the elephant in the room (dark bluff), and the leading line created by the water's edge, immediately draws my eye away from the foreground. In the 2nd image you also have a strong leading line from the water's edge, but the closer match between background and foreground, lets the eye wander along the line more.

Need to go back when it's not being used as a staging area for a logging company.
