    The Ball In The Corner

    Hello Everybody
    I titled this one as a result of my wife's comment when I first asked her what she thought: "Your problem is the ball in the corner".
    She reckons I should have placed it away from the corner and closer to the bottle.
    I think she might be right. What does everyone think?

    Nice grainy feel to this shot, Tom. I don't think the problem is that it's in the corner of the window though.I think the problem with the ball is that its close to the center of the frame. A little different crop would ease it away from the center a bit.

    I like this shot - try putting the ball next to the bottle and see how the picture turns out. However I think I agree with Chunk in that the ball is too central

    I love the grain and contrast wich really do bring out the textures.

    I think Chunk's crop solved the problem. Balanced out the shot.
    Now if you could keep it centered like that and add more brick evenly on all four sides it wouldn't feel so tight.
