 * Oppose Today seems to be a day for nominations that look drab and lacking in dynamic range. Take a look at this one’s histogram; it beats me why someone would upload a picture so poorly processed. Moreover, images of a baseball pitcher in this pose are ubiquitous (Google montage—note the Little League kid in nearly the exact pose) nearly to the point of being a cliché—like those brooding black & white pictures of an old barn, or the telephoto shot of forlorn railroad tracks disappearing into an uncertain horizon. At least, if one were to have the ol’ “here’s a fastball for ya” picture, I would certainly expect to see one with exemplary lighting… not so-so lighting. Greg L (talk) 02:35, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
