If you're ever in the States, don't miss out on a Game like Baseball or American Football. It's the real stuff, it's a life style. Don't ask me how the game goes, I still have no idea but watching the people was by far more interesting to me.
I have shared some images before here on PF a long time ago but this one is another version than the others. They were all in b/w too (which looks great I think).
We went with Stan, a former TE/PF user and a formidable photographer. We're still in contact via xmas cards :-)

Hallo Barbara!
Here I like the "construction" of the scene with the player in the upper part, the visible trajectory of the ball and the big space of the accurate mowing pattern. However, I think you processed, you alienated the photo a bit too much. For me the processing, the lack of contrast, makes the player optically somehow "disappear".
Greetings from cold but sunny Westphalia!

I like how you captured the ball in motion. I've tried this with my cellphone but it didn't work out very well.

Hi Barbara
Taken at the best moment, you caught the "flying" ball. The squared ground is also interesting.

Hi Berbara,
Perfect timing to capture the flying ball. The pattern of the field is interesting part of the photo. The payer is at the right position ans he even has a red hat.

Hallo Barbara,
I like the way you framed this to emphasize the checkerboard playing field with the player (I'm guessing a third baseman) I was a big Dodger fan when I was a teen & my Dad took me to a game. I had a big crush on Don Drysdale. I'm hearing that major league football games are too expensive for most people
I remember Stan's work very well! GLF, Pat

Hello barbara
This is a point I missed when I was in US: I didn't got the opportunity to attend such sport events. I really think it has more to see with life style than sport as you said
