 Taken using the tables own light... which is a bit of a pain as the bulbs circle round and around.. Cut in close in the hope I don't get too many people recognising this is a Star Wars table i.e. long after Tommy was released.. It's the thought that counts!

I would have liked to seen this shot a little more saturated I think. I like the detail and the reflection in the ball. Also a good take on the movie. Good Luck, Todd. 8.

Great subject...lighting is good, maybe more variations of color would make it stronger. Overall a great capture and challenge entry!

My voting criteria for this challenge are:

1. Did you capture a scene from the movie (as the challenge brief states) or did you enter a picture and fit a title to it.
2. How close a rendition is your image to the movie.
3. How does the image stand up in its own right.

In this case:

1. Yes, the pinball scenes are central to the film
2. This is obviously your own interpretation of the scene and none the worse for it, a shot further back to include more of the table may have been more in-keeping with the film.
3. The colours are slightly garish in places, the reds especially, but for a pinball table this is perhaps a good thing, slightly noisy in the shadow areas.

Overall a good picture which meets the challenge. 7

Love this shot. The focus, colors, and lighting are super. I like photos like this that make me think about other possible subjects. You could do a whole series on pinball machines. It would be very interesting. Great job. 9
