'The Air Up There'

An outside basketball silhouette image taken a couple of years ago. The sky/clouds have been added and I think works fairly well with the title. Your thoughts?

Dave, that is some very nice and imaginative work.

I love the silhouettes! There's a purity and simplicity to the moment that expresses the sport wonderfully (I follow college basketball). However, for me the position of the sun is acting as a spotlight, and therefore is focused on the least important part of the story.

I think it works pretty well. It is quite dark; and that would be ok since it is a silhouette. I'd say it is a really nice image that does not have the "wow" factor that many of your other shots have. That is, of course, completely subjective.

Thanks Bob !!! The imagination runs wild at times and then at other times is stagnant.

Yes silhouettes are fun and I would like to do more but too many missed opportunities rule the outcome.
The position of the sun could have been placed elsewhere but my decision, I felt, was more appropriate to feather the light up towards the ball where the silhouette happens to be at the strongest point and yet the basket still visible, but yet still have 'The Air Up There' effect. I appreciate your feedback and in hopes that my explanation makes some sense.

It does indeed work well. Color and tonal unities create that, I think.
"Works well", I'm assuming you mean with the title? Not exactly sure what your mean by, "Color and tonal unities create that, I think", but thanks for commenting.
