Post Challenge:
I thought this was my best submission to date but others didn't agree. It's lacking the "wow" factor a bit and DNMC due to not enough cue in shot?

the angle is very cool, nice shot, the lights seems a little overexposed but not to harsh

Saw that you were looking for comments on this image so I thought I would let you know what I saw when I gave you a seven. I thought the technical aspects of this shot were excellant, lighting, depth of focus, saturation, etc. Looking at your score histogram, I see a lot more 3's, 4's, and 5's than I would have expected. I think this is because the leading line of the cue stick is so short. This didn't provide as much perspective as some folks were looking for. I myself followed the cue stick all the way down past the group of balls. However, if you had included more of the cue stick and increased the leading line effect, I could have given this a 9 very easily.

Nice job on this. The thumb is a bit distracting; a slightly different camera angle or hand position might have been better. Nice though. :)

Great Shot! I can see this hanging in my local pool hall.

Love the shot. Maybe increase perspective effect by pushing target balls back some so there is space between them and cue ball?
