 I like this image. The colors,comp,symbolism,contrast between old/new are very appealing to me. My hope for this image is that one person will like it.
Go Ball Go- Just don't come in last! lol

Post challenge-lots of work on curves to get this look-I did not use urban acid. The ball is new and I know it was a stretch for the challenge but I liked the image. I'm happy it raised some questions. And, my only answer is to think of this image and most of my images as stills from a memory or a dream. Anyway, Thanks for the votes and the comments.
Well, I removed what I thought was a hot pixel on the jacket. I guess it was not. Oh Well.

You may use a cloning tool or small healing brush for the sole purpose of removing sensor dust or hot pixels. No other spot-editing is allowed.

Surreally wonderful. Your photographic experiments are a refreshing change of pace for this site. I look forward to seeing more of your artwork in future challenges.

This is a stretch for the theme of the challenge, but it is artistic.

I like the urban acid feel to the picture, how did you do it within the basic rules? I'm not sure the ball really fits here though, why is it covering his head?

So strange, so interesting. Just looking at this all sorts of questions pop into my head. What is the bird doing there? Who is this person? Where did the ball come from? And the editing compliments this all well.

This is stretching the concept of "new" too far.

what an excellent post-processing. very moody shot.
i do not see relevance to the topic, will not vote for this entry. would have definitely fetched 10 in a relevant challenge for sure.
