Billy R - Basketball

I was outside playing basketball and bounced the ball and took the picture while the ball was in-midair. I first began editing this photo by cropping put the excessive background or area of the concrete. Then I used the clone stamp to get rid of some distracting leaves and fixed the smudges on the ball. If I  could make this picture better I would try to get more of the ball in the picture and try to use more of the rule of thirds. I chose this picture because I enjoy playing basketball and I like the way the shadow is casted on the left side of the photo. I enjoyed this assignment it taught me how to use my camera. I now look at pictures with a different view. I enjoy taking pictures with a lot of color I also like editing the pictures and making them look better to the eye.
