I was trying to make the ball look like it was in motion, like it was falling really fast. To me it just seems blury.
I also was trying to make the jacks in focus, but thier fuzzy and grainy kind of.

I used only natural light.
I used NEAT Image to "try" to fix the grainyness - I can't say I know how to use it tho - and also resized the photo.

I Like the this image. The Coloration is bright and "neon" against the grey background. The ball looks to be in motion and I would have to agree a little curves adjustment or brightness and contrast would go a long way. Good Job.

I really like the layout of the jacks. Shot could use a little more contrast/brightness adjusments. I can see the ball isn't touching the ground , maybe it if was a little more off the ground in the shot the blur would've worked better.
Keep shootin :)

I would almost wish that the ball wasn't moving in this exposure. Or if you did a longer exposure and used a flash delay. It might have captured more of the blurred movement of the ball.

Nice shot - I would have preferred the ball to be in focus - good idea with the motion, but perhaps it would be stronger with a more static feel. Great colors!

nice jolly colours - but unfortunately it doesn't look quite in focus.
