After being absent for several from the sports scene I had the opportunity to capture some high school girls softball.

First time I've seen softball players wearing facemasks. Nice series.

Standard equipment for US Prep/HS infield players.

If you want to catch uncaged facial expressions best to find them during warmups.

Thank you Jules. I'm posting a screen shot of my EXIF Data so you can see what my settings were along with my camera raw adjustments. After opening the image in photoshop I ran the images through Nik Color Efex Pro 4 and used the bleach bypass filter. Made adjustments to my liking. I ran them through Topaz Lens Effects and used the diffusion filter for the background soft focus. I think maybe that is all I did with these. I appreciate your interest. I love sports action and I don't get/take the opportunity much anymore.

Thanks gray_ghost2, face masks seems pretty much normal anymore and probably mandatory with some athletes.

Thanks Tom. I didn't want to go too far with the vignetting, just a little on the subtle side is all.
