I figure there are enough flowers for the DOF contest.

I spend a lot of time at baseball games watching my grandson's play. Neither one of these boys is my grandson although he plays on this team. I like the red, white and blue coloring that signifies America's pastime. Hope you do too.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

I do indeed! Over here we are red, white and blue crazy for the Queens jubilee. I do really like the focus on this. xx

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Great to see you post again, Owd Fella!

Thanks for this perfect action shot and a very nice portrait in one.
The colors and details are very good.

Very well done.

If this will be your entry for the current contest: good luck, Tick.

Welcome back, stranger. I almost forgot who you were.

The DoF makes the shot. The colors are very vivid as you mentioned in your narrative and make this image a winner. My only problem with the shot is the composition. I sure wish you hadn't chopped off the kid's hand. He'll need it soon.

To answer Joanie's question: they're swatting flies with the only tool at hand.
An excellent capture of this moment in time, Tick. Good focus work and DoF in the photo. Very nicely done and best of luck in the contest.
