 This was taken with only a simple flashlight with the ball positioned on a gray felt billiard table cover.

This is my first ever challenge submission. I'm not expecting much, but I just thought I'd try it out and see how I'd do with something quick and dirty. I've just started out and thought this idea would be interesting. The affect the light gave was rather neat I thought, though it could have used some adjusting to get a slightly better affect in my opinion.

I would suggest checking the levels, the blacks don't seem pure black (more gray) and the whites in the upper right of the ball are blown out, losing all texture in the ball. I like the light pattern.

golf rocks :-) I feel like this could be sharper, though.... and a little too much glare off the top rt. side.

I like the reflections from the ball radiating outwards. I think it would be nicer with a solid black background and you need to be carefull with those highlights. You've blown them out completeley on a good chunk of the ball. In the future, expose for the highlights so you have detail there and then bring the shadows back in post processing. You can't bring highlights back because there is no detail to begin with.

I like the neat spotlight effect. Though ball is a tad out of focus and overexposed in the top right area.

A little too hot on the upper right of the ball.

nice light refractions off the golf ball, but the light on the ball itsel looks over-exposed.
