got an "honorable mention"!
Posted By: timbo13, 07-22-2009, 12:44 PM

The Boston Globe (newspaper) runs online photo contests every month,
on a whim I entered last month's "Spring Sports" contest and today I
found out my image was judged in the top 10 and got an "honorable mention"!
I'm really pleased!

here is the image, "conference on the mound":

I love how it looks like the catcher has just had a brilliant idea on how to pitch to the next batter...

Congrats on the honors... well deserved.

thanks, Gus

knowing these two boys (this was at my son's game, although he is not in this picture) they
were probably telling jokes!

I agree, Great shot. The smile on the pitcher, pumped fist of the catcher and the highlight off the helmet really make this shot work. Plus with all that side/back light, this is an excellent exposure.

Congrats and well done. Nice capture of "the boys of summer"
