 Macro of a cricket ball I had laying around.

I think that would be kinda hard to swallow but maybe a 9 won't.

This is cool - rugged. I love the burnt red and the texture of the thread.

to me this looks more like a ball (crochet or something) vs a pill, love your colors and your macro is right on...but as to the abstract of this...it doesn't fit my box of abstract...that doesn't mean I don't like this shot, mind you

The harsh light at the left part of the "ball" is a little distracting but the colors, focus and textures are amazing for me.
I'm not sure if it's a macro, heheh, but it's great and it looks like one! Good job: 7
