Nice idea. The post and net seem too much in-your-face, much less post and net would be better from more angle.

Nice image. I think the title draws attention to the second court but it shouldnt as the first court says enough: 7

Yours is a pleasant composition and the pool of light as well as the shadows makes for the feeling of after the game, after the season etc. 9.

I like the black and white conversion here. The image seems a bit compositionally cluttered, with the big net pole right there nearly smack in the center. I think it's a good idea and perhaps trying some various angles around the same place could yield even more dynamic results. :)
