I really like this. The motion blur works, it's in a setting and not set up, and the color is very nice as well.
Someone made the comment that they didn't appreciate all the negative space, but that's the only suggestion I could think of is that I'd actualy like to see MORE negative space. Just a bit to the right side of the image. The ball and the main bowler seem a little cramped and my eyes are really drawn to the guy in the blue shirt. I think that if there were a bit more space to the right, that maybe he would seem like he were located in a more 'main area' of the photo. If that makes sense. Looking at it though, I realize that there were probably ball return units or something to the right, and that might not have been very attractive as far as visual appeal goes, however, I still think that I'd like to see the guy in the blue shirt in a more important location within the photo.
The color is great, I think the lighting probably played a huge part in that. Great way to use the lighting to your advantage here.
I think the background works very well. Very clean and non distracting. Did a great job of not getting other people/stuff in the background and that makes the overall photo have a clean look to it.
I'm thinking this didn't score higher because there was a lot of great competition and maybe the viewers couldn't personally connect with the photo. Technically though, you did a great job with this one.

P.S. Might I make a couple personal suggestions? I notice you've been around over a year, and have only made 1 comment in return to the almost 80 you have received. I learned more giving comments on other's photos than I did receiving them. You don't have to be a professional to tell people what you like/don't like and why you like/don't like it. You'll find that once you start picking apart others photos, you'll be more critical of your own.
Also, you put N/A in the camera details sections in order to get this critique, next time, don't fudge the info. It is helpful to CCers when writing in depth critiques of your work.
