Hi from the C Club

Your shot is very centered, it would have been better with a different crop or even placing the ball bearing on the edge of the wall that you have there.

Also, you can be seen , which is a big no no , try standing further back and zoom in on the object! There is a lot of grain in the background as well, your high ISO could explain that.

The other commentators on your shot, where also right, just practice with angles and learn from what other people say in their comments.

I would love to see you re shoot this as i think it could be excellent

something unclean about this, don't like the light glare on the ball, not a fan of the reflection, and it's too centered for me. Still 4

I don't like the bulls-eye crop...and I think tightening up this shot would've helped out alot.
