    That ball has seen some better days. Nice shot. Love the way the light is shining on the ball.

    Howdy Jiro,

    What a really nice image, love the crispness of the details in
    and around the ball, and love that wonderful light.

    Very nicely done.
    Take care,

    Very appealing shot, Jiro. Excellent use of simple elements to tell a thought-provoking story. The technical execution is also very well handled....nice structure and really nice employment of lighting.clap.gif

    Happy New Year,

    Tom
    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    I had a college teammate from Brownwood but I've never been there. Kind of west of Ft Worth a ways, right?

    Happy New Year!
