from RAW: crop, contrast mask, remove some yellow and red with hue/sat, adjust colors in the hot spot to make less blue with selective color, clone one reflection on ball and a cord at top of stairs, burn in BG shelf and adjust tonality on wallboards, contain images with gradients from all 4 edges in multiply mode and faded, resize, USM

This one is great. Love the wide angle and the lighting. The neutral colors of the room and open space yells empty. And I love the bright blue ball. A good contrast in color. Bump 10
Nice and tidy basement - usually they are filled with all the stuff you are supposed to have thrown out! I like the composition, and envy the cleanlyness of a normally messy room ...
That's a very big blue ball. Like the perspective, the lighting and the shadows. Like the fact that the very big blue ball looks quite odd in this setting.
Great location for this challenge, I like that you can even see the slight curve of the stairs at the top, only complaint is that the ball doesn't appear perfectly round like it should. Wide angle?
this has a lot of promise; one wonders how it might have looked if you had taken one or two lightbulbs out from the background. i think the brightness and shock value of the blue ball might have had greater impact. i like how you positioned the ball, and the idea of space is pleasing. overall the shot seems a tad too bright to me, but very likeable. 8. by the way; if this is your basement, i'm very jealous - seems like a wonderful place for shooting.
