Very concise and simple. I like the addition of grain, it removes it from reality and gives it more of an abstract feel. The white ball is slightly overexposed (I think) but I like the opposing shadows.

little to soft for me...but good idea

Interesting idea. I'd like it better if a) the shadows were more pronounced, b) the cue ball were in sharp focus. 5

Underexposed and grainy.

aside from the grainyness, i like the idea.

This shot meets the challenges on a couple of levels but the shot itself seems a bit out of focus and noisy and while the idea is good the lack of contrast leaves the shot looking rather dull to me. A 3

This is not a very crisp shot,I love the idea just wish it was clear.

Nice effect. From all the noise in this shot I have to imagine that this was taken in a relatively dark locale?

The noices works for me in this shot.

Shadows in opposite directions, very creative.

Great idea. Simple and captivating. However, the photo is way to grainy and doesn' t have enough contrast. The whites could be whiter and the black could be blacker. Good attempt.

I really like the idea, but the picture is so grainy, and unsharp. Looks like it was taken with a cell-phone camera, perhaps. I'm still a sucker for a good pool-table shot, though. Keep it up!

A little grainy, Plus you can still see the 8 balls reverse shadow.

nice idea, but i think it is too much dark. the black ball is hard to see, the white ball is very blurry. a touch of glare on the black ball.
05/12/2004 08:59:20 AM
Great idea, but way too much noise and white ball is washed out.
05/12/2004 08:56:02 AM
The 3 ball is extremely grainy and almost transparent. It's very obvious on my computer. I'm not sure if maybe you did two-shots on one frame. It may have been more effective to leave the shutter open slightly longer on the black ball. However, it's a very cool idea and effect otherwise - 6

This is a great idea but the grain and focus really take away from the shot - 4
05/12/2004 07:12:54 AM
very good ..... although is it just me or is the background a bit grainy ??? just kidding

Nice idea. The black background makes the 8 ball and shadow blend in a bit too much, and the bright cue ball makes it hard to see the shadow it cast.
05/12/2004 05:17:52 AM
a bit too much with the off screen light being reflect on the surface. also seems blurry. Good idea.
05/11/2004 11:16:34 PM
is this intended to be grainy? it looks kinda neat
05/11/2004 09:38:53 PM
good idea. Nice texture in the felt. A little blown out on the cue ball though. 7.
