Greetings from the Critique Club!

Welcome to DPC! While your photo meets the challenge, it does not hold voters' attention for too long. The color of the sky is a little dull and the use of the flash did not enhance the image. A little bit of contrast and curves could have helped to create a stonger contrast between the sky and the orange basketball ring.

I think it could have been a stronger image if it was shot from a slightly different angle, centering the net. While a centered composition is not typically very exciting, it could become a bit more interesting when cropped much tighter.

I hope this is helpful, feel free to PM me if you have any questions. You have a good eye and DPC is a great place to learn -- I am looking forward to your photos in the future.

A circle indeed, but didn't think it was the strongest portrayal.

I don't really care for the bulls-eye composition and the colors are kinda flat.

Fits the challenge theme, but I think it lacks abit of impact..

your colors do not "pop", did you do curves/levels? it seems that that would do alot for you picture
