 Yup its a set up! I hope you all won't be hating on it LOL.

Cropped, Cloned out, burned the parachute cord holding up the black ball, cloned out 2 small hot spots on the red ball, hue & saturation, curves, USM, re-size and save for the web. I hope this passes muster. If not it was fun shooting this. Used 5 lights for this shot. 2 SB-800's, 2 400ws mono lights and the on camera flash to trigger everything. Took about 1.5 hours to set up including the safety precautions of dealing with a falling bowling ball.

well focused and well exposed. The expression looks a bit staged, but technically the shot is excellent.

Zones suck as bowling balls, I prefer Hammers. But you don't care about that :) This is a fun photo.

Oh don't tell me this guy is juggling bowling balls! LOL
And if he's not, where is the motion. And if he is, how the heck is he doing it. Leaves the viewer wondering what they are seeing.
