more DOF would help

I absolutely love the color in this photo, but it looks a little staged.

the white spot in the top of the number on the 12 ball is bad (7)

too symetrical and the blown out highlights on the balls is hurting my eyes

Color is excellent! The lighting seems a bit harsh, which prevents the viewer from identifying some of the numbers on the balls. This is a small thing, though. Your composition (grouping) was very good.

Nice subject matter but a bit to busy or random for my taste.

Hehe, I must laugh, I had this idea myself for this challenge, but I pulled out last minute. Your submission is good, but I would add more DOF, and maybe have lightning from both sides. But I hope this does well! 9

Very nice shot. I think a slightly shallower DoF would be better, as altho the balls are out of focus, they're not enough out of focus to stop me trying to focus on them... if you know what I mean?

it took a min. for the title to register i must still be behind it oh well

I don't think this is really macro, nor particularly close-up. Other than that, it's a good shot.

I like this shot! Nice DoF.
The only change would be the reflections off of several of the balls. Different lighting might improve it.
