Am suprised I didn't see (many) more of this kind of shot. I like it and the 'touch' of motion is much better than a 'frozen' shot. Maybe better with a more blurred background? (7)
This is a good idea, but seems very pixelated. The greens are not very rich at all - the orange shoudl be a bit more saturated as well. The ball is okay as far as colour. I'm wondering if it's maybe when you use a program to resize the image. Your camera may take a great shot, with rich saturation, and then your software program buggers things up. Maybe in the future try a different program when you go to resize. However, I like this. Maybe a tiny bit more to the right hand side to allow a bit more negative space.
