The shallow depth of field is perfect for this shot.

It's certainly not boring! You captured a great moment: ball in mid-air. I love these sports stop-action photos! Your contrast and focus is absolutely perfect! For such motion. That is amazing. Sports Illustrated "stuff" :)

Very interesting perspective! Well done - makes those lacrosse sticks look quite out of the ordinary.

I like this idea, but I am thinking maybe a sharper angle to the side would really add to it. Also on the base there is a light spot.. looks over sharp? to me it really throws the dof off in a big way. I like the bell design being in focus, however, I think if the lip and design was in a sharp focus and the rest shallow this would really make much more of a statement. Also, a bit more balance on the image. Glass is really hard to photograph well. In this situation I would have tried to use dark material or boards on either side to create a nice outline on both sides of the glass.

Interesting perspective. You did a fabulous job of creating interest with the mundane. I like the delicate patterns on the glass.

i like the angle/ perspective of the shot - made me want to open up the thumbnail - I think I would have liked a little more sharpness of the whole image - it almost has a 'liquid' like feel to it
