I really like the feel this image has. Any chance you could post the original image as well?

Thanks for the comments/critique.

Cue ball is yellowish from age. This table was moved from my parents house. It has been recovered numerous times but the balls are original and approaching 30 years old.

The background... it is the insulation covering the basement wall.

I know the background horrible but I couldn't get my original concept to work , didn't have time to fix it in post (kids take up too much time), so I just went with it. Wish I would have thought of the black backdrop but I was beginning to get a bit frustrated that I couldn't get to where I wanted to go.

Perhaps I will re-shoot this or touch it up in PS when I have some time.

Another great shot. Question on the background, is that from the softbox, a separate light, or post?

One of the better ones of this challenge for me. I really like the composition although I think you went a bit to far on the sharpening of the butterfly.

I like this. I was going to comment on the outfielder until I read the title.
