I saw this guy on the court doing tricks. Amazing. I decided to climb, hey at 67 it is a feat. Climbed up a three inch pipe to get my shot and that was a long climb. I wanted the ball down the net and him looking up so I focused on the rim. Took all my shots and then I loved this one. yes, the ball is above my focus plane, but this image as is contains more excitement though not technically perfect. I traded images for his participation.

Perfect composition and great idea for the challenge. I like the motion blurred ball and the tack sharp rim and net. I think it would be slightly better with a sharp player (his eyes at least, since they are so strong a focal point here. Nice work!
8 - Good clean simple shot. Criticism; 'if only' that ball were 'motionless', or just sharper, more focus, not sure how or 'what'. Seems the ring and net is in focus, and for me, either enhance the ring or else get the ball in focus. Great angle, nice and clean. Good simple colors.
Almost a great photo. The motion on the ball is either too much or not enough. Where it is right now, it is too distracting for how the rest looks...still one of the better photos of the challenge.
Ball is out of focus had you cought that in focus this would be an incredible shot. Not much intrest on the net being in focus. Either the subject or the ball would work
Wow, how on earth did you get this angle?? Nicely done. Though it might be better if the basketball was in focus, maybe even if it meant the shooter wasn't. Still, nice shot.
