Hi Alex,

The general softness and darker tones in the background could make this seem like a much older time which I enjoy here at it works well with the historical description of hits game in the Dominican Republic. This perspective does a good job in showing just how slim the stick used in this street game is, and like how we also see the incoming ball.

One of the best (potentially) shots on TE in my recent memory !
I said “potentially’ because the photo lacks in certain aspects of finishing (hue, cropping, saturation), but…(?)
The raw material is so good, so very, very good – it’s worthy to sit down with Photoshop and beat the hell out of this babe !

To the last pixel of it … To the last dot…

Yes, Alex – it is SUCH good…!

All the best
