thank you.

Thanks! I was on the fence about uploading this one, as I've seen so many similar photos...almost to the point of the subject and perspective being played out. Glad you like it!

OK, but if you'll notice my previous submission, which features the same man, you'll see he is clearly airborne (although striking a different sort of pose). Also, regarding this shot, if he wasn't in the air, wouldn't there be a greater likelihood of something being in the background to give some sort of ground context? One foot is indeed cut off, but on the side of the photograph and not on the bottom, but the other foot is clearly in the air and he's trying to catch a ball moving up toward him, as can be gathered from the angle of his arms. I was using a 70-300mm lens and was zoomed in somewhat significantly in order to get the shot.

Thanks for explaining how I broke anonymity, because I was trying to get clarification from a moderator but never heard back :-/. I wanted to delete the entry and replace it with something different altogether, but I'm unsure how to do that (again no response for the moderator). But thanks for clearing this up and for your comments!
