A big ornament there. nice idea. Second time I saw this idea. Both have unique execution of course. The thing is, you seem like an experienced photographer, and you could do this shot much better... sharper, more contrast :/ I like it though :)
This is an interesting shot. If your face was a little closer to the ball you could really warp things! I only wish the overall image was just a bit sharper. JMHO, thanks. BB
