I was keyboard voting and it recorded my provisional 2 - I think the POV makes it worth more than that as does the focus on the potted ball.

The motion blur works but the lack of clarity of the cloth doesn't serve you well, the red on the potted ball is quite noisy too.

I think most people would count more than three elements too.

Bumping from a 2 to a 4 - I can't really see more merit than that score in it I'm afraid.

I understand what you are doing but a longer exposure probably would have worked better here...It would have blurred the balls to where all that was visible would be the colors..

it's a great photo idea, I would have liked at least one ball to have been in focus completely though...

just my .02! good luck!

Good idea, but I just see four balls not three, I want to see three.

When I look at this photo I see poor framing, lots of blur and 4 balls.
