 The winning shot.

So in fall I shoot football, in winter basketball, and in spring & summer, baseball. It takes a lot of time. :) I didn't shoot thinking "What movie can I shoot?" I just shot and then thought, "Is there a movie about basketball."

Don't expect it to score well. Glad it was advanced editing though. I removed the Nike swoosh on the ball because for some reason, it was bright and clear and and looked good for a Nike ad, but became the primary focus of hte shot. Also had to remove FYO on the side of the ball, even though it wasn't readily readable. :P removed a light in the background and softened the background some. Would have LOVED to make the whole background black, but figured that would be over the line.

I like how you processed this to give it a very classic feel.
