Like it much better, Frank. One reason is the enlarged facial/eye expression of the hitter. Did notice that the catcher is looking higher, but that's likely due to his not having yet found the ball. Never without MY idea, I down loaded it and cropped even more off the right side. I cropped the ump to just about mid arm at his elbow, thus leaving his arm in one continuous piece. I like the composition a bit better that way.
