This photo isn't just about the spinning basketball, but also about the people playing basketball in the background. It was more difficult to take good shots of the players themselves in motion, so I decided to go for symbolism instead. Taking the photo posed more of a challenge, until I found someone else really good at spinning the ball so that I had time to take more photos and choose a good one. Looking it at now thought, I might have tried to improve it by refining the background more. I took this shot on the sidelines but maybe I should have stood closer to the center portion of the sideline, i.e. more to the left, so that on either side the basketball, you can see both halves of the court.
