from the critique club:

What went wrong here? It happens to all of us. Here you have a good amount of diagonal lines and a ball well placed. You accomplished the intent of "frayed", but the image fails to pull the eye. It is all in the choice of lighting.

By looking at your port I note that you are very competent in hamdling light. Your TP is a winner, right into my favs.

This image is a nice composition but I think you should have addressed the lighting with one of your unique ideas. This would certainly benefit with the use of backlight, however, I leave that up to you.

It is very simple: you had a very good idea and you made a good composition...you simply did not spend enough time with final outcome.

TP is your bench mark. Always try to top your best next time around.

There does not seem to be a center of attention (a specific part of the image the eyes are drawn to). The frayed strings indicate a lot of use, but the image is quite static. If the ball had been pressed into the strings I think it would have provided a stronger focus for attention.

Good workman like photo but the subject isn't that interesting. Perhaps a different composition would raise the interest factor. Lighting seems a bit flat. Stronger shadows of the strings might have given the photo greater depth.
