Really nice photo. The tip of the cue stick is a little out of focus, but the rest is right on. Biggest problem is the challenge is "body parts" and the hand is the lest thing in the photo. The hand should be the focal point, not just stuck in on the side, occupying less than 1/10 of the photo. Better photo than challenge meeting. I hope you can understand what I mean. For the challenge I'd have to give it a 4. In another challenge it would be an 8 or 9. PTL
I like the motion in this shot. The composition is a bit busy though, and the hand isn't emphasised enough. A closeup, with a different angle to fit the hand, cue and ball in the shot, would have been more interesting.
This one seems to draw my eye more toward the cue ball than the hand, even though the hand is more in focus. I don't know if it's because the cue points at the cue ball, or because of the angles that sorta move my eye toward the cue ball. Or maybe the lighting. Other than the distraction of the cue ball from what should be the main subect in the shot (the hand.) This shot is done well.
