Well, my imagination didn't lead me very far in this one. Pretty much just grabbed the baseball that's been in my closet for the past 10 years and decided to get as close as possible. I like macro.

Incredible detail! The red color in the stitches is powerful, almost in a morbid sense. Reminds me of stitches in things other than a baseball. It has more artistic value than anything else, I think.
Not sure I´m getting this one. Seems technically pretty well performed and interesting. Since I´m not sure what I´m looking at I cant find how it meets the challenge so it makes it pretty hard for me to cast vote.
