My daughter bowling...I liked how the colors of the clothes she was wearing mimicked the setting of the bowling alley. I had to use a fast ISO and slow shutter speed to capture this without flash. Thus the noise, which I am sure will hurt me. I had a very nice macro of a frog which I thought of using but, my contrary nature won't let me. I like this better. I'm sure it will do badly.
POST VOTING...hee-hee... I just missed winning the brown with this. I knew it would not be popular. I'm tickled that a few people actually got what I saw in the photo. No, it wasn't taken on a cell phone but I did have to use the fastest speed which, on my camera, is very noisy. I still like it better than

ok, I'll admit that I wasn't really struck by this picture, but I did give it a 6, which is the same score I gave the blue and red ribbons. Like you said, the color matching is a nice element, and the strong geometry of a bowling alley makes for a good composition.
I didn't vote in this challenge, and you are right, the frog probably would have scored much higher, but I kinda like the quirkiness of this shot. Nirvana and bowling, who wudda guessed? :)
I am none to sure about this photo, there is nothing for me to really like about it, but I am drawn like a moth to a light. Nothing seems in focus and the shutter speed leaves everything in a blur but the colors are wonderful. Her skirt and the panels above the pins are what makes this. OK I love it...10
Hopefully after the ball was let go, it was!
Image-wise, this is not very clear and lacking a sharp focus.
I'm sure you have been getting this feedback already and apologize if it is redundant.
A quirky, fun shot. Love the colors - how did she find an outfit to match the lanes? Love the shoes, too. I'd tell you to straighten it a bit, but I'm thinking that the slight angle actually works for this one.
not a fan of denim. lol but gotta love a fan of nirvana, especially also one with a fun fashion sense, we're kindred spirits. ;) as far as the pic. tilting isnt so great and a tad oof. nice colors though.
-I like the funky colors
-Nice composition
-Good idea with the slight camera tilt
-Overall there is too much camera shake for me
-I would've cropped off the scieling
-Score: 5
in some odd way, I like this. The noise, the shake, the garish colors, all provide me with such a sense of place, a sense of being there, that I can hear the pins drop. Composed well. 8 - good luck in the challenge!
