I was originally looking for stuff in the garage for the Garage Art challenge when I found these and an idea came to mind. This glove and ball are both very old. To illustrate that in the photo, I converted to sepia.
Rotated, cropped, resized, cloned a few unwanted strings and spots, converted to sepia, usm, border added.

hmmm, this is nice, i like the sepia tones, and the ball and glove come off as having a lot of character and history, but i find the square framing a little dull. i think a little more negative space above the glove would have been nice here. i like the black background, but with the soft contrast happening in the subjects it makes the overall image a little dim. not sure if white would be better or maybe just a little more contrast in the subject. this is easily an 8 with the potential to have been a 10. nice work.
This has a very classy feel to it. The nostalgic colours, the oldness of the leather, the black backing. I think, for me, the best thing here is the tonal range. Very nice. Just one little gripe, for me, the challenge wasn't to shoot things which are commonly used together, but to create interesting combinations. 9
