Well, if I am to be truthfull this is a litle tedious as a visual picture, but at least you have applied the challenge description to your shot, which is more than can be said for most of the entries.
Very good approach to this challenge. I believe you meet the challenge with the details given. The ball is what I am considering as the subject and it does have power over the picture. If I had to pick a little, the top of ball has blown highlights and I think it would of looked better with a lower POV so not as much of the white inside the cup would be showing. The white in the cup comes very close to competing with the ball. Still with that said one of the best I have seen yet. 7
I was thinking someone was going to use a golfball. But I am glad to see it near the hole and not on a tee. Nice scale to everything and I gave it a 7.
im not exactly sure whats off here. The top half of the ball has blown highlights. The white balance is off also. The bottom of the ball + the cup have a blue/purple hint to them, making me think you left the white balance set to Flurescant (sp)
Good perspective. Photo tells a story. Nice colour. All the elements of a good photo! Ball seems to have a bit of purple hue to it, that's all I would fix.
Love the depth you acheived and point of focus is right on. Nice example of Minimalism as I understand it. IMO, the blue/magenta cup and ball contradict the lush green grass. Adjusting the colors to natural tones would make this a stronger image, again IMO
