This is my first submission, and was taken with available light in the gym at my son's school. On the original exposure, I use the crop, unsharp mask, auto levels and levels command across the whole image.

This is a fun picture. I wish the shutter speed was either slower or faster, I feel like it's between being motion blurred or crisp. But the new perspective definitely works for the Challenge topic.
This is certainly an extreme angle of view, which does add a certain amount of abstractness to it. Well composed, and colors are good, but the image lacks in focus. Though it's ok to show the ball blurred and in motion, the rest of the image, like the backboard and hoop, are not in focus and weaken the impact of this otherwise potentially good photo.
almost as impressive as the owl-swooping shot, in terms of grabbing just the right fraction of a second. just as with that one, a flash might've frozen the action a little more sharply, but it worked out well enough that that's an almost completely forgettable suggestion.
Wow, it was complex to shot! Good point of view. But not only the ball and the nwt are motion blured, but all image are grained and blured. I like the idea. But you need to improve the tech points.
