Since most people don't notice the textures on a golf ball, I thought that I would help them. SO this is a Golf Ball Close-Up. RAW Conversion, PS Elements for b&w, Contrast and brightness, Unsharp Mask, despeckle. Used a piece of black paper for the backdrop.

Like the use of light

If you purposely used a scuffed ball to show use, I can see that, but I think a new ball would look better in the shot and still convey the same meaning.

Ya hit that skinny! ;-) My tips for this photo. Keep your head down and swing with rythm.

Gorgeous! Only gripe is the flaws on the ball. Distracting from the abstract-ness of the image.

nice golf ball shot. could you have backed the light off just a bit? also, try this some time with a ball that has a little more of a story to tell...more scrapes and cuts.

Nice lighting, sets the mood. However the dirty golfball is very distracting, and the image isn't very sharp

Nice shot. Great contrast. Personally, I think it would have been a more powerful image with a pristine ball. The scratches and such just seem to distract.
