 I taped the ball to a sign post bracket with a Mammoth Smoke behind it. The glove was tied on with a ribbon. I lit the mammoth smoke and snapped the pictures. I did it several times and unfortunately, this is the best one.

Hmm... I think I would have added some motion blur to the ball, just to make it seem caught in the action. Great idea, though!

Original. I think I would have liked to see the bottom of the glove in the shot. It looks a bit suspended without seeing the arm going into the glove. Good job overall. 8.

cute idea, the smoke looks more like clouds, but I think it "works".

Slightly confused as to how you got the effect? I get the smoking ball but the smoke doesn't give the impression of speed. IMHO if you can remove all the smoke this would be a great shot for a print (challenges don't really mean that much).

*vote watcher?* that last 1 was a bump :)
