This was taken at the annual volleyball tournament held at our church picnic. I was sitting almost immediately under the net on the sideline trying to capture someone missing the ball entirely, but I wasn't having much luck.
After taking this one (it really was out), I liked the composition, so I decided to stick with that over one of the numerous 'person-missing-the-ball' shots. Don't think it'll do brilliantly, but here goes nothin'!
PP steps -
1. Convert from raw - adjust exposure, contrast, saturation.
2. Rotate ever so slightly to get the horizontal rope exactly horizontal
3. Crop very slightly
4. Resize
5. USM
6. Save for web
