I used some of the blur tools on different layers to create the motion effect that was required. I cut out the bat then positioned it to make the motion. I used several light changes and opacity levels for the background. I feel that the depth created by where the focus (Hank Aaron) was supposed to be. I wanted to make the photo feel like He was the true meaning for capturing one of his most defining moments. Hitting a homerun in the world series. The pitcher, the other players and the umpire did not really matter ... it was his moment.
