I love playing pool so I thought I would take a photo of me breaking! I think this photo will either do really well or it'll tank... not quite sure as I am still feeling out the community here! Ideally I would like a 6 on this shot but it'll probably be in the mid 5's!

Very unique shot, i think something that would help out a lot, would be better lighting, the lighting looks pretty harsh. I like the idea, and definitely a cool shot, nice job.
Compositionally, this shot doesn't "follow the rules" I don't think, but that helps add to the chaos of the shot. Having the balls in the bottom of the shot really give it a nice balance, and the wide angle makes the hand look disporportionatly small -- which is good.
Technically, I like the trails that are visible -- it really adds to the feeling of motion in the shot. Having the table not be green helps the shot too, as I think a green table would really make it to overbearing and bold. That said, a touch more contrast might really give it a bit more depth and add to the "punch" a bit more.
ooo, this is deeply funky. i love the tracery of the ball paths and the wide angle forced perspective. i think this might be technically better with slightly more contrast, or deeper tones, but i really enjoy intellectually as it is. nice one!
Interesting shot. Almost seems noisy. Maybe a different angle would help as the concept seems better than the actual picture. Definitely worth exploring though.
