I adore the lighting in this photograph. I like the stress in his hand. You have shown the concentration, the focus.
Maybe my love of pictures that include faces would lead me to feel the photograph is incomplete. It could be your work is so good that like a great story it makes me want to know more. Nonetheless, I feel cheated somewhat by the background. I want to see the faces of the others.
This was a 'natural lighting' shot. By that I mean that I didn't use a flash, the only lighting available was from the light above the pool table.
As a result, the faces of people standing around watching are all in the shadows, and it just tended to take up too much of the frame to have the extra background. I was trying to keep the focus on Jeremy and the table.
This is an experimental project. My goal is to post a single picture each day during 2007. My hopes are that it will force me to improve my photography skills and technique and to more actively notice and, on occasion, interact with the world around me.
The rules are simple, I have to have taken the picture on the day it was posted for. Generally, I will try to post a picture on the same day that I take it. But there will probably be times when that is not possible.
If you have questions or comments, please feel free to leave me a comment.
For anyone who may be interested, prints are available. If interested, please contact me and let me know what sort of print you'd like (framed or not, what size you'd like, etc) and I will get back to you as soon as possible with a price and to iron out the details. I'm not yet looking to make a living off of my art so prices will mostly just be to cover my costs.

Good stuff, Scott.
