Nice idea - but thought of by "several" entrants. Nice composition but background detracts. Slight oof on the ball, caused by movement, could be exaggerated a bit more.

The Ball seems out of focus here, I guess because it was moving, I wonder of you could have fixed it above the hoop somehow?

Not sure why the rim is blurry, but it hurts the picture a bit.

I like this photo quite a bit... I just wish the basket and ball were in sharper focus. The background takes a little too much attention from the focus on the shot.

Lots of hoop shots make this a bit of a cliche (not your fault). Best of this genre.

I assume that the rimis out of focus due to vibration. Neat action shot.

This looks very pixelated in places. I'm wondering ifyour software program does somethign when you resize the image. It's a good idea to capture your ball in flight, but the compsition may have been more interestig if you incorporated the rule of thirds (ROT). WHile ROT doesn't always apply, it probably would have enhanced this image. The viewer needs to have something starting from teh right or left corner to draw the eye into the movement.

The title is rather redundant. And I wish the rest of the shot, other than the moving ball, was crisper. Can't fault you for the great timing though!

This is good, but I thinki it would be better with a little deeper DOF so that all the net was in focus too.
