Hoop

Trying to be a bit creative , almost abstract.

This is an urban caged basketball / five a side pitch in Arnold

Not too sure if it works , but it is something a bit different before I post a few more strangers / people shots

[Mags]

It works!

[Corinne C]

It works well with a leading line toward the red basket and a contrast between the red circle and the black grid. A very nice abstract.

[Carole Sandford]

It works well for abstract.

[Peter Dulis]

Nice

[LManning (Laura)]

I like it! I wonder if a slightly tighter crop would enhance the effect?

[Christina]

It is good to go outside our comfort zone. Great shot

[Casablanca]

I like it. The criss cross of the grid is such a great texture

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely capture. Well spotted.

[Phil Howcroft]

@casablanca thanks casa glad you like this 😊🏀

[Phil Howcroft]

@christinav thanks Christina it is indeed

[Phil Howcroft]

@ljmanning Laura thanks for the advice , I did think about cropping the bottom bar off

[Phil Howcroft]

@marlboromaam thanks mags for your continued support

@corinnec that's a great comment Corinne thank you very much

[Phil Howcroft]

@carole_sandford thanks Carole I am still not sure , I don't have an abstract eye 👁️

[Phil Howcroft]

@pdulis cheers

[bkb in the city]

Nice shot

[william wooderson]

But can you pop a ball through it!! Great pic.

[*lynn]

Cool shot ... different for you!

[Judith Johnson]

Very well captured

[Pat Knowles]

A great square of shapes!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

It makes a cool almost-silhouette against the sky. I'm wondering how it would have looked with either more of a tilt or none at all, i.e.so that the horizontals lined up with the bottom edge of the photo frame.
Great shapes!
