A tribute to Dave Montizambert, who's excellent book on creative lighting has surely been an inspiration.
Taken from a low angle with 100mm macro. Lighting is with 3 flashes, one shot through a 10cm corogrid at the lower part of the ball, one shot directly at the back of the ball and one shot at a red towel behind the ball.
Lightroom processing: Increased Ev, black clipping, clarity and saturation. PhotoImpact processing: Straightened, cropped, wb adjusted, curves and levels adjusted and sharpened.

This shot is right there.... but I feel like it just needs a little something more to add more drama or push it a bit. Unfortunately, I have no idea what that would be. good luck
