The Crestock Photography Contest 2007

Nice idea. IMO could be better if the ball is seen as a whole ;p

Wonderful shot!

cool shot! I hope no one got hurt during this!! hahah!

Look fake for me... Looks like some one holding the ball on one side and the other guy is just acting throwing from far. If the ball is flying at a high speed, there's no way it looks like this !

Looks like thanhdad you are not only a grammatical genius, but a wise man in so many other ways. Thank you for your insight. Thank you.

Great stop action ! Nice detail of the baseball. Points for originality

Yeah, thanhdad could be right (I wonder if anyone would risk a camera on the precision of a pitcher, given the speed involved and so on) but then again, does it matter? Even if done in a studio, it's still a great idea with nearly perfect composition (I would've cropped out much of the right side), good colors and vivid detail on the ball.

Must have been a knuckle ball.

Unless you decided to trash a camera I don't think that this is a "real" photo, or at least you are not properly describing the situation in your comment about the photo. I do not believe this photo to be photojournalistic it must have been set up. There's no way it could have been a "snap of a pitch" without you destroying a lens...

this photo doesnt show the ball in motion. it looks like somebody is holding the ball and the man at he back poses like he threw the ball...

idea is very good!

I don't care what anyone says about this picture. It's a masterpiece! for all those who say otherwise, ( thanhdad, td, and pie ) you obviosly don't appreciate good ideas. Out of all of the pictures i have looked at during this contest, this picture, for some odd reason, captures my eyes and fully demonstrates the theme of the contest. kudos to jrossh21

Nice composite work.. I like the Idea of this.. Nice creativity. I didnt see anything that said No Composite work
