>>4096007you mean how he's popping out of the frame so hard?
the lens seems to be showing some vignetting & distortion that helps the look.
but mainly I think it's his pose & lighting.
>baseball batadds a perfect layer that leads from his hands to behind his hat, in between him, his teammate and the stands.
>left armconnects his shoulder (foremost) to the bat
>faceperfectly framed up by the shoulder, bat, baseball cap and harsh lighting that accents the jaw
>pic relateda similar photo of the same hitter, hank aaron, shot 7 years later in 1968.
i think we see most of the same feeling (pop) in this photo except he takes up less of the frame so he doesn't come across as so gigantic. plus the lighting is much more even so there's a bit less 3d around the nose and such.
