That Jackie painting might be my favorite of them all. Your treatment of the lighting is extraordinary, and the way he emerges from the shadowed area is nothing short of epic. It feels almost symbolic in nature, as if Jackie is representative of Baseball's "coming into the light" in the dawning of a new era.

I've never seen this pose before, and it's about as nice as any Jackie image I can imagine. Even the background setting is among the most interesting I can recall. Beautiful colors and vibrant use of light... One of your most dramatic, and best-ever, Graig!
