 I am a basketball enthusiast. In fact, I daresay no one on DPC can handle my skillz. Don't believe me? Come on over to Colorado for a little one-on-one. Hahahaaa.

The shot would be a lot better if I did it at the gym, but without my lighting on site and the actual difficulty of the shot, it was not gonna happen. In fact, I think this was my top 3 most difficult shots I have ever had to get. The combo of slow shutter speed, lighting, angle and self-portrait was tough.

Very good concept - I wish the basketball was more true in color - I'll assume my monitor reads it badly and that you are, infact, terrific! 9

Nice arms! Wow! I like your method of grayscaling. Just a little red left to punch out the shorts and the ball.

Great pose and composition, great idea for meeting the challenge. I really am impressed with how you captured the textures of the clothing - I guess this is down to the lighting?

I tried to get a shot like this...glad I didn't enter it because you did a MUCH better job than I! Bravo to you for showing movement and true "SPIN" *8*

I usually like desaturation, but the pants are killing this one for me. 5

Had the same idea but failed to capture it anywhere like the quality that you have got. Made me very glad I did not enter my shot as you would have wiped the floor with me
