Nice concept and the image looks nice.  A bit of motion blur would have provided
some action to your scene.  The threads surrounding the ball look a bit odd -
not sure what to suggest other than instead of having lose threads lying about
- use motion blur, or both.

From tigerhawk@stic.net:
I like the film look that you added to the scene, and I like the concept. I felt
it could have been more dramatic (I didn't get a good sense of movement) but a
well made scene nonetheless.

Wow, great job on the modelling!  I'm going to have to find some time to
experiment with Art of Illusion.

From jacoons@ameritech.net:
Points for realism in the "fuzz". The wood texture on the racket could use 
some work, perhaps turbulence.

From jgrimbert@free.fr:
Sepia effect is barely noticeable on wood.

From fine@head.cfa.harvard.edu:
A truly great image.  I didn't realize tennis balls shed so much when they
were struck.  Minor nitpick: the olympic rings are prominent, so I would've
modeled them, and given them a high specular, so that it really looked like
a painted logo, or a sticker or something.

Interesting, even if a bit plain.

From p.gibellini@teinos.com:
The ball is awesome and the lighting very nice.
Racket's ropes seems to be not disturbed by the impact.
However, nice.

One of the better images this round.  The scratched-film effect is a great
finishing touch.  The wooden frame fcould be improved though.

From bertram.henze@t-online.de:
The ball is so fascinatingly hairy, that the racket seems a little bit unreal in
contrast - like a cardboard model with a printed-on wood structure. The ball
sets the standard for the picture, and the racket fails to live up to it.

Beautifully simple concept. Yet dynamic "snap-shot" of movement.

The ball is a bit to hairy

The ball is a bit to hairy and it seems to loose an awful lot of hairs.
