Tennis balls

While Veronica was playing tennis, I roamed the Windward Lake Club for some photo ops. I found these tennis balls on a beautiful stone patio - they were already grouped together like this. 99% of the time, I do not arrange the subjects of my photography, I prefer to take things as I find them and then interpret them through my composition and post processing. This image looked much more dramatic to me in black and white.

Best viewed enlarged. And yes, Veronica won her match!

Who would of thought tennis balls would make such a great shot! Love this Danny great work

[John Lynn]

You got some balls there Danny! LOL

[Sean O'Neill]

Great shot Danny, they look well worn!

[Cathy Donohoue]

nice perspective. Good for Veronica.

[Caryn]

I like the light here. Great in b&w.

[Tara]

I like the B&W too. Nice work and good eye.

[Carole Imes]

Congratulations, Veronica! And also congrats, Danny on this "as is" tennis ball shot. Viewed large, you can really spot the different textures.

[Alison Tomlin]

Cool light and shadows shown up well by the b&w

[Therese]

Lovely shot!!! She deserves to win... those balls have been through a lot of use!!! ;)

[Cindy McFarland]

I like that you decided to do it in b&w. You captured the lighting really well.

[Marley Ks]

:) nice

[Jackie Björnert]

I like the tones you've used for this - they mask the typical tennis ball colours and make you have to really look at the image to figure out what it is you're seeing :)

Congrats to Veronica for winning the match. Tennis is a beautiful sport. Nice capture of these tennis balls.

[Ann]

Well done, very cool ! Congrats to Veronica !

[Cathy]

B&W is always a more dramatic shot. This is great danny

[David]

Nice! Interesting that the writing pulls the eye - without it I wonder if the adjacent darker, but well lit, ball would be the focal point?

[Teri]

Great shot!

[Ross Walker]

These balls arranged themselves nicely with the two different ones side by side (writing and darker tones). Great choice to go B&W.

[Leslie]

they look like some well hit balls. great POV and shot

[Simply Amanda]

What an array of balls. Some of them look like they've been around the court a bit. Nice in b&w!

[Juliette Packham]

great light and tones - really like this
