This was one of those shots you happen to catch without meaning to. I loved the shadows and the lighting. I cropped it, added the border, boosted the saturation a tad and ran it through neat image.

What kind of glue did you use??? Very good photo, very good idea. At first, I tought that shooting that photo at an other time of the day in order to get the sun in front would have been better, BUT, after looking a little longer to it, I kind of liked the color the sun gave to the images at that specific moments. Maybe overexposing a little bit in order to get more contrast would have done the job well. Great photo anyway. Congratulations.
I really enjoyed this image. the lighting is terrific,and the ball just hanging there is awesome. It is a little under-exposed, but that fits the feeling of dusk.
There were many many basketball hoop shots - but your may be the winner. It's taken with perfect lighting, has great exposure and loads of interest. The fact that the net is missing adds another unique twist. I would, however, suggest you retire that garish orange border into the land of OZ.
Nice capture. The centered composition works nicely, but I think the orange border takes away from the shot drastically. It's a shame really. Also, did you use neat image? It seems a bit over-smoothed to me, specially on the ball.
Beautiful! I like the colors, lighting, composition and overall feel. It'd be nice to see another few inches of the poll, but it's very nice nonetheless. Great job
Very nice photo. But I believe it was Ansel Adams who said, "No good ever came from an orange boarder." ;-) Still, this is a really good shot - nice timing.
