Inspired by this, but not even close. Another last minute attempt.. didnt get the colors I wanted, and the dartboard was dirty. Still expected a better finish for this.
The dartboard was lying flat on the ground, and the knife was handheld and moved intentionally.

I really like this! I have been wanting to try one like this for awhile. Did you take it indoors and that's why the lighting isn't so great? Congrats on the bullseye!
A pretty good shot I think. I like the idea of capturing the bullseye dart as it hits the target. I think that it's hard to see the dart in this shot though. If you could have caught the timing such that the dart was in flight for half the exposure, and stuck still for the other half so it would show up more clearly on the board it might have been easier to see and still had the blur of motion.
Like this. My own personal taste: I think I would have liked this with the dart static and not in motion. BOL 6
P.S. I know this is somewhat picayune but it would have been nice if the four corners were equally cropped.
Very creative. The colors just seem to be a little over-saturated. I think if they were muted down some, it would put more ephasis on the knife hitting the bullseye.
