Greg,

I like it I also agree that the bowler's motion blur is nice. Being an IR lawn bowling fan, I've thought about seeing if I could get a rolling ball in the frame. I've always thought that a "blurred" ball would really add to a lawn bowling IR shot Although, I only shoot IR using the NightShot mode and it's tough to get a slow enough speed. I think I bottom out at 1/8 sec. Maybe you can try it with your Mavica. Plus, since it's Winter here (lawn bowling season is over) and Summer there, you'll have the first opportunity to try it.....lol

The only thought I had is that the blue is a little bit overpowering. Any consideration given to including another color somewhere?

gtc

yes,I agree
I agree-the trees could be green with a mask and change to hue-once I get my new pc I will have a crack at it-PS is not what I call an area of expertise-the other option is to go black and white..thanks for your suggestion

Sure you can! Although I like the blue too. Tried green but it looked terrible to me...

No dis-respect meant, but that's the first time I've heard bowling being described as cool .
It is though :dood and I like the blue! Must have been really close to being able to see the ball, you can just trace its path now (or is that shadow?).

Could make a good challenge theme "uncool to cool"

gtc

its good to get a reaction..
its good to get a reaction-thanks people-until i get my printer happening my sole source of feedback and critical advice is via the internet and email-i really appreciate the interest and expression of different opinions-i took quite a few shots at the bowls club ,so will post some more

thanks G

Youve got me wanting to try them out now...at least the buggers will be easy to catch.

gtc

yes, the good thing about lawn bowlers is that they hold their pose after releasing the bowling ball
