The 8:1 lighting is fantastic. I also enjoy how the white lace seems to fade into the dark. This is a wonderfully composed image.Message edited by author 2004-08-28 18:59:52.

interesting lighting and well exposed and good colors.

I like this one very much, I almost want to touch the screen to feel the surface.

Lighting adds interest. An evenly lit pic of the entire ball would have been boring.

Excellent composition, this photo would also have done well in the Mundane contest, Texture is good as well.

I like the lighting you have used on this. Nice composition as well.

This is fab! Not sure on the Sq format, would position the white middle part nearer the bottom right corner myself. But nevertheless great shot 9 JB shot?

nice lighting, I feel the grip!

I played around with this same idea.

Nice composition, effective lighting. I like the way the laces fade to the background.
Post actions
Blending the light and shadow makes this more than just a picture of a ball, but still not that interesting.

Perfect. I can't imagine a better photograph of a football. I'm giving you a 10 and I don't even like football.

I'm back to comment. Nice detail on the texture. The lighting/darkness is perfect. Perspective is great.

Simple and effective. Great choice of lighting. -9

Absolutely excellent. Wonderful lighting and a very vivid image. So far, my choice for the winner. Good luck.

Better than most.Very good on the lacing, not wholly convinved by the composition. Has real mood, which puts it above the field to start with.

One of my favorites from the moment I started browsing. Very dramatic light and it's ALL about texture! Beautiful! 9

Nice use of lighting to enhance the depth of the texture.

Very nice lighting and composition, makes for an interesting shot. Fits the challenge well.

very nice composition and lighting. i really like how the laces fade into darkness.
Post actions
Like the composition, subject matter and DOF but would like to have seen a bit of fill on the left so it is not completely in shadow.
Post actions
Would have liked it with sloghtly less darkness. Get a greate feel of the texture though. Nice.
Post actions
Lighting is harsh, but works well in this photo
Post actions
Nice, although I'd like to see more of the ball.
Post actions
Very clean shot...very clean football! Excellent lighting.
Post actions
Like this one alot, including the title. Great texture. Would have liked just a little more light to the left. Focus seems right on and the composition is good. I like the laces all leading away from the viewer.
Post actions
Good subject for this challenge. Nicely composed and lit (though the lace is a tad burned, hard to avoid), should do well.
Post actions
Well, you certainly got a grip with this exciting textural photograph. Nicely done.
Post actions
Brilliantly lit.....really shows the texture off to perfection...9

I was thinking of a similar idea - you did a good job on this.
Post actions
Nice shot and as a football fan, this would make a good photo to frame or have as my wall paper on my computer.
Post actions
Very nice mixture of textures. Lighting and focus is great. 7
Post actions
too much of the pic is all black - i don't like the overall composition
Post actions
Very nice, I hope you get a ribbon, I'd have your photo as a top 5, but thats just me, so good luck. 9
