Description

Canon 10D, Canon 100-400L IS lens at 260mm ISO 400, 1/1600 sec. at f7.1 For those of you who may be major league baseball fans, this was a shot taken during a game last weekend. Atlanta Braves vs. St. Louis Cardinals: The baserunner running from first base was out at second, but he slid hard and was able to make the shortstop drop the ball, preventing the throw to 1st base to complete the double-play. If you like this image, I would appreciate your comments and vote.

I'm personally not a big sports fan, but I love photographing them. You've done a spectacular job stopping action at a perfect time. The photograph really doesn't need the player on the right...but still an superb capture...you must have had a really great location to get this. Oh, you shouldn't have to solicit votes...this image stands on it's own without you having to do that. :))
