The most interesting aspect of this image is the vantage point from which it was taken. The photographer captured this image not only above the baseball game in the distance but also above the cheering fans. In doing so, the photographer focuses the picture more on the fans rather than on the baseball game. Because the photographer included both the field in the distance and the adoring fans, he creates a sense of excitement for the viewer. The fact that the frame is not separated straight down the middle adds another element of informality and allows the viewer to feel as though he is in the scene of the photograph.
