This is a scaled down toy pool table. Lit from above right with 1 AB-800 and Giant Softbox. I tried to get a good DOF for this one because of the table being so small tried a few different angles then started trying different glass, the 85mm 1.8 gave me the best results.
I am pretty sure my choice of processing for this shot will either make or break but I like it better than the full color version so will see how it floats.
Post Challenge: Thanks for all the cool comments.

I like the story! 8 replacing 13! Very cleverly thought out. Nice! I viewed this photo a few times before deciding on the scale. When the story came to me, then the scale went up! 10!
I like this shot.
Nice framing and narrow depth of field with focus on the black ball works well.
I assume the baize was a geryish colour to achieve this in basic editing.
