Hi kon!!!
COMPOSITION
I really like the tight vertical framing of this. It forces you to focus on the subject at hand. I also think you have effectively composed the shot in that I find my eyes going from the balls up the arms to the hand and back.
TECHNIQUE
The dof works well here. The balls *pop* by comparison to the rest of the blurred background. I also like the sepia tones, though they seem a bit dark to me, almost a brownish-orange, which gives the whites a strange color. I think if it was a bit lighter, with a touch more contrast, the black would really stand out.
OVERALL EFFECT
Someone phrased it nicely when they said this is a very masculine shot. It would look awesome on someone's billiard's room wall or soemthing. Another shot very nicely done!!!

| This shot really appeals to me! I love the angle, the use of DOF. A very "masculine" shot! |

| This is a well composed image. However I feel that it is the subject (so obviously sharp and shinny) that leads you to the leading line rather than the contrary. 8 |

| Ohhh nice... In this case I'd rather see "whiter whites" but still pretty good. |

| you've got the right idea. Billiard balls are so colourful, why not use it? |

| Decent shot, I like the sepia tone and the composition, but it does not give me the impression on "leading lines" - If it had been shot from the other end of the que, looking down the que at the balls, then it may have had more impact for me per the challenge. |

| good work :) The tonal range of the image is a little flat overall.. maybe some level adjustments would bring that up some :) - setzler |

| Tones, clarity and dof are excellent. You have really captured this shot well. I like how the cue is in the background fading off. Excellent photo and Gl. |
