Good solid black background supports the challenge theme well and the color is fine. You use DOF to highlight the main subject and draw the viewers attention.

The message of this image will be obscure at best to most voters and they will score it lower as a result. Great images often raise provocative questions in the veiwer's mind but this seems to raise questions that most viewers won't care about. They ask, "Why is the ball with the word "Hudson" on it the main subject and why should I care about it? Why is it on a ball in the first place? Why does it need a place to hide? It does not engage the viewer to want to understand why or speculate on answers.

On the technical side this is a generally well done image. Clarity of the main subject is excellent. The bright spot by the "n" is only slightly overexposed.

For added interest you might consider repositioning the ball on the rightmost rule of thirds vertical line centered on the intersection point with the lower rule of thirds horizontal line. You would remove unneeded and distracting foreground bluriness and give it a right facing appearance that is more pleasing to the human eye.

Seems a little too centered. The lighted space maybe angled more. Pull the Silver sphere more to the right of the photo.

Will be interesting to find out the meaning of this one. Like the shallow DOF and the textures.
