I predict the comment "this would be more interesting with a dart" en masse. Well, I can't find the damn things. I was more interested in the geometry of the dartboard anyway. It was a last minute entry.
Convert from RAW with some EC and color balance adjustments. Then in PSP X2, crop, HSL (boosted saturation), brightness/contrast layer, merge, more color balance adjustments, USM, resize, JPG.
POST: Wow, 11th place. Wasn't expecting that. Personally this is an accomplishment for me as it's among my first experiments with indoor/studio lighting (notice that most of my entries are outdoor shots).
And, yes, it needs a dart -- message heard loud and clear! A dart in the bullseye would have really changed the dynamics of the composition, and I think I would have come up with something very different if I had used them (wherever they are). It might have done much better -- or much worse.
No good outtakes, but I liked the idea of shooting from below. Maybe next time! Thanks for the great comments and feedback.

| This is terrific. After looking through your pics. I;d like to make the comment that you have a unique eye when it comes to perspective in your images. |

| Actually, just to be different, because I always am!, I actually think that I prefer it as is without the dart. The dart is always in the board for shots, I find this one refreshing. And you got a 10 from me. |

| I like this idea. I feel like it's upside down though. Do you have an outtake where you shot it from the bottom up instead? I'd really like to see that compared to this one. Still giving it a 6 though |

| Might have been more effective with the dart IN the bullseye. But clever angle. |

| Nice angle and great DOF. Just wondering if a dart in the bullseye would have finished of the shot/ |

| it's a cliché anyway, but would have been much more interesting with at least one arrow in the board |

| Nice perspective... the name would match better if a dart was in the bullseye. I like it though, the angle works for me. |

| I really like the DOF on this picture. Would have been great if you had a dark sticking out of the middle, IMO. 7 |
