 Taken with my remote and hit the ball with my hand against the side railing to give it the spin. I hope there is enough green to fit the the challenge and not too many penalize me for the top right. And I know that the whole ball trail isn't in the shot but this was the best take in terms of the ball trail, and this wasn't easy to duplicate so I just went with it. I also named it just like the highest rated photo on this site for good luck.
shot raw and hue/sat, curves, USM, NI, cropped, save for the web.

I Like it a lot... but the top right corner is a bit distracting...

I'm curious to find out more about how you made this shot - both photographically AND from a billiards point of view! Marking as a favorite to find out! Well done.

I really like the use of blurred motion on the cue ball. Nice photo!

a little awkward in the compostion. I prefer a less tall photo, because it allows my eye to transfer and move around the photo more. This is too high for my eye to make it all the way to the top and back down while comfortably moving around the rest of the photo. good sharp focus on the six ball though. quality.

Nice :) cool idea. If you would take the picture of the ball steady, without moving line, it could be a better picture I believe :/
