    I like the poster a lot. You did a superb job of tying everything together. The picture itself is putting me off a little bit though. It's a superb shot but an image of a BB with two hands on the ball running doesn't feel right to me. I know there all kinds of situations where this could be happening but...

    The shot is of the player as he is just going up for a layup and there is actually another player behind him that I cut out of the shot that is trying to tip the ball out of his hands. I don't think the two hands on the ball is any major deal. The main thing I was looking for was IQ and his face OK. I don't know what it is about this kid but virtually every shot I have of him, his eyes are half closed. I was happy to just get a shot with his eyes open.

    Nicely done but I think you missed some masking in that triangular area around his right arm to his rib cage.

    Bill, the jersey does look a little different under that arm but that is the main players jersey. There was a opposing player in the background that I cut out but he was wearing an all red uni. The jersey is just baggy and hanging differently.

    Makes sense. I really like how you brought all of the elements together on this. How many seniors did you do this for?
