 Took a bunch of photos of a lizard but this idea came to me. I finally learned how to acjust the apeture on the damn lens. Funny thing about that instruction booklet thing.... I used the 50 mm 1.4 with the polarizer. I cropped, adjusted the usuals. Levels, brightness, sat and applied USM shadows highlight. and saved for web.

I know this is an old photo, but it the first time I've seen it. I really like the geometric composition with the blocks of subtle color and the circle anchoring the corner. What drew me to this image, was the frowning face on the tennis ball. I think this is the way the loser must have felt about the final point that landed right on the edge of the court. :)
