 This was taken at the annual volleyball tournament held at our church picnic. I was sitting almost immediately under the net on the sideline trying to capture someone missing the ball entirely, but I wasn't having much luck.

After taking this one (it really was out), I liked the composition, so I decided to stick with that over one of the numerous 'person-missing-the-ball' shots. Don't think it'll do brilliantly, but here goes nothin'!

PP steps -
1. Convert from raw - adjust exposure, contrast, saturation.
2. Rotate ever so slightly to get the horizontal rope exactly horizontal
3. Crop very slightly
4. Resize
5. USM
6. Save for web

a little flare on the top, I preferred the ball more on the left

bad call, IMO.

Cool perspective and the sun glare on the lens is minimal, well done there.

Nice photo, but doesn't really contain enough information to convey the title IMO. Good sharp focus throughout though.
