Too distracting???

Does this photo work with the ump and batter in the foreground or is it too distracting?

Yes, in a way.

The background does not mesh with the foreground subject.
I would have been better with a slightly wider view showing us that it is a batter and an ump ... it took me a moment to actually figure out what the people are actually doing.

Thank you.. I cropped it to get a closer look at her face. Here's the picture without being cropped. You can see more of the batter and the umps mask.

Appears she's dropping the ball and pulling back after being bopped hard with a bat.

You were there and know it is a umpire and a batter.

None of us here, were there, so without you telling us the context of the photo is not immediately apparent.
