8 ball Determined

A troublesome shot.

nice shot, the riveting model augments your great layout times ten. i'm not sure what's going on over his right shoulder-- it defines the shoulder i know, but i'd consider instead letting the model emerge from total black.

Mike... well done. Mood and good use of BW here. Grain effect not too overdone.

Yes I should darken that area or block it out all together. I think it's the player's back end.

Thanks. I lowered th contrast a littl. The 3200 is real grainy. Thanks you guys, for the comments.

Mike, I like it as it is. And I like it a lot!

your correct, mike: it's that two toned jacket he's wearing, i get it now. killer pic.

Thanks Doug, that's a roll from that BAG O'FILM you gave me.

Well, you put it to damn good use! This is superb.

Great mood and feel, very ominous. I love this composition too. Thanks for sharing.

I like the grainy texture. Gritty is good, in men, and in images like this. lauren

Excellent ! Cool and cool ! Congrats !

Mike, I am surprised to see this picture. I have seen this guy play pool a few times, mainly at the Green Room in Aurora, IL, but also at tournaments.

This tournament starts this morning & I can't make it. It runs on 'til sometime on Sunday. Your're not too far from here, take a drive to beautiful Bradley Illinois! I like shooting everyone, but the girls are more interesting. Those are great pictures you have of the women pool players.

Thanks for stopping by.

a thinking man's game... Great picture!

Great image!
