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.

stuny · 01/09/08, 09:11 PM

William -

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

paolo d · 01/09/08, 09:16 PM

Nice shotot, great tones and light.

j. borger · 01/09/08, 10:08 PM

Fabulous picture Wiliam.
wondeful tight composition and first rate B&W treatment.

ajtorres · 01/09/08, 10:27 PM

Outstanding capture. Really very good. Alejandro.

jmr · 01/09/08, 11:13 PM

William,

superb photo: the energy is there, and the composition and tones are excellent.

semrich · 01/10/08, 06:59 AM

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.

Marquinius · 01/10/08, 07:21 AM

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!

Abhinava Goswami · 01/10/08, 10:42 AM

Hi william I agreed with the comments above but this is a great image.
