Nice capture, though would prefer a simple frame. If the young bloke really wanted to look like Warnie he would be sms some young girl on his mobile

Yes, nice image and would have made a great series if you had caught the follow through with continuous drive :wink:

I guess I have to comment on this one, given the subject of the pic!

I love shots of kids playing cricket, and this one is no exception. The expression and body language on the bowler is fantastic.

Small criticism - I can't be absolutely sure at this resolution, but I don't think the shot is focused correctly.

But I think it's great. :D (I am ignoring the frame.)

Yes Cricket Fan, the boy with his back to the camera is right in focus, the bowler is just out.

In the heat of the moment, I didn't look to see what the camera was focusing on.

Let's learn gooder engrish...:-)

Good shot, brings back some memories playing for the Karuah U11 cricket side in Pt Stephens...

What frame?

Good shot - very serious that bowler. Teach 'em young to keep a steady stream of pom beaters coming through the ranks!

excellent timing! personally, i would have framed it a lot wider. to me, the whole direction of the shot is from left to right, so i suggest at least half as much again on the right, even if it's empty space. a good companion shot would be of the batsman getting ready to hit. they could be mounted a distance apart, letting the viewer fill in the space between them. good stuff
