latest one. theres a couple things I would have liked to tweak, but you only get a couple chances for this shot. I'll get it better next time.

It's the first one for sure here. First saw it over in the gallery and knew it was an instant winner. Great concept and execution with this image. The only thing missing was the disclamier, "No basketballs were maimed or injured during the shooting of this photograph."

I'll get it better next time.

I like this one already - what can you get better ?

lighting more of the hand and bouncing a bit more light onto the other side of the face. In the original shot, it was impossible to tell he was holding a basketball, kinda just looked like the flame was coming off of some round object. I just want to light a bit more the ball itself.
