INITIAL RESPONSE: Nice and not easy shot. Would have prefered a motion trail on the ball. Good light for a night shot well balanced. Bother bu the dysimetric cropping of the 'panel'.

COMPOSITION-CONTENT - That was not an easy shot ;-) I wonder how many times you tried it. Its a very nice stop motion shot. Very valid for the challenge even if I think most of the people would love to see a motion trail behing the ball.
Somehow I am distracted by the dysimetric amout of black above and below the 'basket panel' , I think in that case it would have been better to crop a little more at the bottom. Very nice angle.

CAMERA WORK-TECHNICAL- The light homogeneity all over the shot is impressive. It looks perfect to e. Depth of field is adequate.

DIGITAL PROCESSING - TECHNICAL - Nothing specific to say so .. perfect to me.

MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO - Almost everything said .. I like the shot, I would have shown more black above (I do not know what your original shot was). I would prefer that rather than to crop the bottom because I think the balck empty space does bring something.
Nice shot anyway ... and probably not an easy one. Congratulations.

Unusual angle. Good stop motion shot.

Motion and stop-action. Interesting...

Nice unusul angle; for this challenge a little straking behind theball would help.

What an incredible idea for an angle!!! .....what I would GIVE for this shot to have the motion trail of the ball .. even a little... that said without knowing if it is possible, and disregarding the difficulty (as wishes often do).

A very nice photo, but doesn't really scream motion to me.
Whould have been nice if there was a blur trail on the ball - but you would have needed a lot more light for that.

That's really cool!

interesting angle on this shot. That one star in the sky, or maybe dust on the lens seems a bit out of place, and the backboard could have been centered to the picture. Overall not bad.

BEAUTIFUL NIGHT GREAT SHOT...DID IT GO IN?

Neat perspective! Hope you didn't get bonked in the head too many times while trying to get this shot!
12/09/2002 09:30:54 AM
would have preferred to see more motion in the ball
12/09/2002 04:06:39 AM
I think this would work better with some blur on the ball.
