like the old-timey processing, but what really cinches this for me are the lines that close in the bottom center of the photo. It makes such a strong statement, suggests that the lines themselves are the subject of this photo. It creates a strong central shape that focuses attention, which turns the ball on the lower right from a distraction into an interesting detail. 9
The conversion on this is excellent and really give this photo an antique feel. Great leading lines(and lots of them) and very dynamic composition. Well done!
