I like this. I tried a globe also (did not submit it). Mine was blue and I had water as the background. Because I did that - searched for a background - I appreciate your choice of the soft fabric behind these particular colors in the globe. Nice. 8

In my opinion a dark background would have really added to this photo. The background is quite distracting. The globe is awesome, the worn look, it could proberly tell some stories. Good luck

you've definitely nailed the challenge topic. i think a few things could be done to spice this shot up and make it more compelling: i like the lighting on the globe but think it could be pushed further so that there was a greater difference between the highlights and the shadows, the background feels a little uncontrolled, with the folds in the blanket and the top right corner, the angle of the globe feels a little uninteresting, right smack dab across the equator, and a different angle might help. These are just my own personal opinions, so take them for what they're worth. 5

Actually, it's a perfect ball not a circle. The globe is well taken but the background blanket just doesn't go with it very well.

Recent studies have shown that the earth is not quite a perfect circle.

I'd love this with a dark background and a single light source. Nice rich coloration of the globe.

Could use more saturation in the colors ... well placed and good composition. Lighting needs to be much stronger to make this a compelling pic.

I'm not a golfer so I am probably missing something here. But seems to me you missed the spirit of the challenge.

I like the concept and the composition although I would have loved a bit more emphasis on the obsolete but thats not an issue its your shot, my only gripe is the glove is way too washed out.

This is a good subject...a great subject, really. However, it could use a different angle to eliminate the background clutter, and perhaps a different time of day to lessen the shadows. Shoot this again and post the results. Good luck.
