The shadow led me to the ball, this is a very nice use of black as most entries would put this ball on black velvet or the like. The image is a little grainy, perhaps your ISO is a little high?
I like the use of shadow and compositon in this shot but the lighting seesm a bit off. I feel that a white balance correction could have eliminated the yellow tint of the light and the picture seems a bit dark. I think a higher key shot might make this pop a bit more. There also seems to be excessive noise in the shadows and this could be from trying to fix the lighting in PS.
