Close play shot at a dirt field in Bend, OR - youth baseball (11u).
Loved the focus by all players and umpire, and even the other players in the dug out! Also the dirt kicking up - and showing the slide coming in under the tag.
Canon R7 and a 70-200mm f4 lens, shot at 89mm, f4, 1/1000, iso100.

My first 2 entries were full on nature/outdoors, and re-read the guidelines again and feel this is a completely different take on "outdoors", still being appropriate for the contest. Also a shot that I personally love, and showing kids outdoors playing sports, creating memories.
Any constructive critism is appreciated, I enjoy capturing moments like this and want to continuosly improve!
I like candid shots like this. You captured everything that is pertinent to the play - even the ball in the catcher's mitt.
I entered a nature shot, but like you I have so many of these shots, taking lots and lots of my grandsons playing baseball and football. I may have to find one of each now. Yeah, it is ' outdoors' right. Love this shot btw. Great Capture
Thank you, and yes - the ballfield is where i spend most of my time. I have 2 boys playing travel ball, love pictures for the memories!
