							Very nice work on recreating the ball. It seems that the ball should have more light hitting it on the right side vs even lighting, and the ball's edge could be softer.

							I really like the composition and perspective of this image which creates for me an authentic rendering of a ball about to be kicked on a tile floor. Terrific lighting and shadows, plus I like the realistic stitching and texture on the soccer ball.

							 Marco  sent  me  a  PM  questioning  my  entry.    "your  ball  is  made  is  PS  and  the  stitches  etc,  but  hold  the  phone        photoshopcontest.com...         that  ball  overlayed  onto  yours  is  identical  hmmmmmmmmm  (eyebrow  raised  "  
						 | 
					
					
						 | 
					
				
					
						
							 
						 | 
						
							marcoballistic
							 
							 my  point  was  I  think  people  will  think  you  made  the  ball  the  way  you  phrased  it  and  of  you  skill,  that  was  my  point  
						 | 
					
					
						 | 
					
				
					
						
							 
						 | 
						
							ReyRey
							 
							 I  wrote  back:  I  said  it  was  the  only  source  "included"  everything  else  was  "reproduced"  with  PS.  I  did  use  the  same  image  as  the  other  post,  but  all  I  used  it  for  was  to  create  paths  for  the  shapes  and  then  I  rebuilt  the  ball  with  PS  with  the  airbrush  
						 | 
					
					
						 | 
					
				
					
						
							 
						 | 
						
							ReyRey
							 
							 and  the  paths.  I  can  show  you  the  layered  file  on  monday  when  I  go  back  to  work  (thats  where  I  did  it  Laughing  )  if  you  doubt  me.  You  will  see  solid  gradients  on  one  layer.  
						 | 
					
					
						 | 
					
				
					
						
							 
						 | 
						
							ReyRey
							 
							 Dots  of  texture  on  the  the  next,  shadows  and  highlights  on  another,  stitches  on  another,  dirt  on  another.  Zoom  into  mine.  And  zoom  into  the  other  ball.  You  will  see  my  stitches  are  different,  my  texture  on  the  ball  is  different,  my  highlights  are  
						 | 
					
					
						 | 
					
				
					
						
							 
						 | 
						
							ReyRey
							 
							 not  the  same  and  you  can  see  my  highlights  were  hand  drawn.  Compare  them.  You  will  see.  The  only  thing  the  same  is  the  shapes.  I  will  give  you  the  file  if  you  still  doubt  me.

							 Marco  wrote  back:    I  am  not  saying  you  did  not  do  the  dirt  etc,  I  know  what  you  have  done,  but  I  bet  you  people  think  you  made  the  ball,  that  is  what  I  refer  to

							 ok  ha  whatever,  it  was  not  about  doubting  you,  as  I  was  humourous  in  my  PM,  I  did  not  want  to  cause  a  comment-a-thon  just  an  adjustment  of  your  comment  under  your  image.  
						 |

						 | 
						
							ReyRey
							 
							 I  replied:  Read  what  I  just  wrote.  I  DID  make  the  ball.  I  just  used  the  source  to  cut  paths  for  the  shapes.  That  is  all.    I  will  change  the  description.
