Well, my imagination didn't lead me very far in this one. Pretty much just grabbed the baseball that's been in my closet for the past 10 years and decided to get as close as possible. I like macro.

Crop, Hue/Saturation adjustment, channel specific contrast adjusments, resample, unsharpen.

Excellent detail. Weathered look really adds to the "feel." One of my top 3 picks. :o)

Is that actually leather, or is it plastic? Interesting shot.

very cool

Nice macro shot!

Great shot... very detailed

A very nice macro - love the diagonal composition. Perhaps a "newer" subject would have been more appealing.

Incredible detail! The red color in the stitches is powerful, almost in a morbid sense. Reminds me of stitches in things other than a baseball. It has more artistic value than anything else, I think.

Wow, Great close up! Very nicely done.

Great macro! I like how the stitches are coming from corner to corner. The detail is excellent.

Good luck...

You have captured incredible detail in this shot. The lighting is perfect, as is your depth of field. Nicely done.

nice

Wow, now here's one for "Unusual Viewpoint". I first thought this was a set of nasty teeth and gums!

Wow that's close. Technically great, but the composition doesn't leave a very interesting or artistic impression.

Finally.. a close up shot of a blal that's well executed This one is interesting. I love the texture. Good luck - 9

creative idea - have to look at twice to work out what it is...nice
06/02/2004 09:59:30 AM
Interesting. I never looked at a baseball (?) that closely before.
06/02/2004 08:43:35 AM
Not sure I´m getting this one. Seems technically pretty well performed and interesting. Since I´m not sure what I´m looking at I cant find how it meets the challenge so it makes it pretty hard for me to cast vote.

excellent
