 I was out playing pool and thought to myself...grrrrr I dislike straight shots and then thought this would be a good concept for the topic.
With my pool table being outside I struggled abit with shadows from the beams above but over come the problem in the end.
This is my first photo I have submited to DPC.
Its not the best quality shot but as a beginner I dont know much in the editing side of things as yet.
I think its going to be good learning for myself to have challengers and to try think outside the box.
Any tips on what I could have done better would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Shaun

I love the angle, a fish eye lens would have done wonders for a shot like this. my only suggestion would be make the 8 ball a bit more visable
