Playing with photoshop, Cricket.

I have not really use photoshop for a number of years, I use to know a bit, not an expert by a long long way but enough to clean up photos. So I was looking through the pics I took the other night and found one I thought was a good one, It shows the ball just having been released from the bowler and halfway to the batsman. Here are my efforts. I straightend it up, removed the corner of a blokes head and made the ball more visible.
Any tips would be grateful.

Great pics.

Just goes to show how quick a batsman needs to think.

The position of the keeper (right up to the stumps) tells me the bowler is a spinner.

Now look at the batsman - he's already making a decision about whether to come onto the front foot and the ball is 1/2 way down the wicket. Imagine that at 95mph!

It took me ages to get a shot like that, it was either to early or to late.
The bowler was collingwood, not a spinner but not the quickest, also did bowl a few slow balls, 1 in fact slower than one of montys.

Gotta love Photoshop Good clean up there Stormey

Good job Stormey!
