William, inviting image & wonderful tones. I think this is the first B&W I've seen you post. They have the same potentcy as your color work.

William -

Everything about this photo is terrific, but what I like most is the lovely richness of tones you've achieved.

I also agree, great, I especially like the expression on the boy to the far left of the frame just above the bat, very touching.

As much as has been mentioned about the tones I would be interested if you would share your process.

Compliments! And all the guys bunching up on the right and this one kid on the left with the somewhat apprehensive face is especially strong!
