Rolling Over The Edge

[jamesbryan17]

This is my second competition entry and it's my interpretation of this month's theme, with the idea of a ball 'rolling over the edge'

Exposure: 0.167 sec (1/6)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0/2 EV
Flash: Flash did not fire

Oh. That's a brute.

I do like this, however I think it would have been better if there was a little more emphasis on where the edge was that the ball was about to go over.

In post process did you defocus apart from the trail from where the ball had rolled or are my eyes finally failing me ?

Nice looking shot.

Yeah I like this but agree with weejock, about having more edge definition.

well done

 

[Tobers]

I do like this - very innovative and cool DOF.

 

[jamesbryan17]

No, there was no PP defocusing. only PP was levels, sharpening and border

 

[SweetGirl]

Very nice idea.

 

[electrolyte]

That is excellent. Love the shallow DoF.

 

[bowenjones]

Cracking shot mate
I like the reflection of the edge in the ball too

 

[alfienoakes]

I think that's lovely and works very well.

 

[jamesbryan17]

I appreciate the comments

Echo what others have said, great shot and I like the way you can see the difference in DoF on the table.

 

[jamesbryan17]

thanks Steve

Really liking this, great colours and a smooth DOF

 

[almightygoodgod]

great shot, i think the reflection of the edge negates the need for focus on the edge itself. very impressed.

 

[jamesbryan17]

I must have done something right if you guys are liking it, suppose it's the DOF that's done it.
