 The Atlas Bar in Exselsior Springs, MO at an annual fraternity reunion. This bar is owned by one of the fraternity members.

During my tour at the Atlas Bar, I needed a tripod, which I did not bring. If you look in the pix, to the right, you'll see a spool of cable, with drink coasters on top. This was my tripod, and beer stand.

This picture is really blurry and out of focus. But it would have been nice if it was in focus Good perspective.

The focus is the problem here. It may be because the puck and person are moving, but the wall is what is in focus and what you want to look at. Excellent idea though.

Great angle, but because of the lines in the tennis court poster and the tight focus leading to the man in the back (as well as the human interest of his smile) it's tough to get back to the idea of shuffleboard in this picture.

The lighting is a bit harsh and I wish the puck itself were more in focus. Interesting point of view though - shows creativity.

Image would be a bit stronger if it was slightly rotated towards the left. I like the use of motion though.

Love the perspective on this..but I think the focus may need to be reversed. It would probably be more idea to have the puck more in focus and the people more out of focus.

I would have liked it better it the people were completely out of focs and only the puck was in focus, but because of your title it makes me look at the puck and become frustrated because you can't make out what it is.

Nice idea. I would have liked a cleaner focus. If you had focused on the point in advance, then taken the picture, the disc would have been clearer and added a really nice perspective to the photo. I don't have as much of an issue with the out of focus person as I do with the disc.
