The amazingly bright colors, sharp focus, and wonderful framing of this image really set your photograph high above the other darts shots -- and above many of the shots in the challenge!
Great colors, tack sharp, well lit and nicely composed. Why'd you rotate it? (Come to think of it, why'd you shoot it from below in the first place?) If you had a tripod it might have been good to shoot a little more head-on and include the fletching on the darts, but that's another image. Raising your score on my second look.
Great focus and color. This is really being nit-picky but the composition would have been much better if the board had been old with the center almost eaten away. Also would have been a good candidate for "advertisement" challenge.
Those darts need a little light from this side to bring out the golden glow of the grips and to differentiate the rest of the shaft from the black portions of the board a little better. (Right now, in some places you can't tell where the board -- or bakground -- ends and the dart begins, apart from visualy continuity. That's not exactly the right word, but if you're not sure what I'm getting at, ask) The board itself is well lit -- the reds and greens really pop, and the wire is perfect.
The colors of the dart board don't seem that attractive. However, this is a unique game, however, it may have been better to have a person with a dart in their hand or something.
good shot, well three good shots, I think I would have liked it better if it wasn't a brand new dart board, or if one was off the mark. I would also have used a larger apatrure to blur out the background, the other side of the board with the numbers is too sharp in focus and keeps pulling my eye over to it.
isn't 20 meant to be at the top? :) I think I would have preferred less DOF, thus blurring the 'top' (left for this pic) of the board. I like the placement of the bullseye in the photo and the darts and wires of the board leading your eye to it, but the black shafts of the darts blend in with the black background. Still good IMO
