Hi CanGran.

I really like the idea of this one but something does not look right to me. I think maybe the crop is too tight and the dark shading intrudes too far on the left? Perhaps it could do with a little more contrast too? Very good image though, keep posting...

Thanks Suzie. My main focus in this picture is the ball, therefore the tight crop showing a hint of the glove. The reason for the darkness around the edges is that I was trying to spotlight the ball more than anything else. Thanks for your comments and I will try and play with this picture a little bit more with the things you mentioned.
