I like this one much better.

The ball looks like it has been used and abused, by lots of dirty hands.
Nice! Though, I think the scene needs *something* white or near-white, to
tell the eye that it's a full-brightness-range image; otherwise, it still
looks a bit like an under-exposed photo. Perhaps a few random patches of
the faded-white ball stripes could be made whiter?
