 Well .. I'm sure some people will say darts is not a team sport, but at my work it certainly. We always play it in teams.

This is an amazingly well composed shot. Great DOF, great color. My only problem, and it's a doozy is that I can't get darts wrapped into a team sport. I have the same problem with pool or card games. That drops you down to a 3. If this was any other challenge, this is an 8. Easy. This is a great shot, and please consider using it as a stock shot or making it a print. Very, very nice.

Good idea, though I think the out-of-focus dart-ends (I always forget what they are actually called!) distract the eye from the focal point of the bulls-eye.

Focus. 4

Nice Macro. Very good focus. Good levels. Focus seems just a bit off but it may be depth of field limits. Somehow, I don't think of darts as a team sport, however, so I bumped the score down from a 5-6. (2)

Not sure that I've ever seen darts being played as a team sport, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I think this should could be improved with a wider DoF, keeping the end of the darts in focus.

deeper depth of field would help

not really a team sport

LOL, I was thinking od doing the same kind of shot! Only I was going to show a T180!!!!! I used to play team darts several years ago but I still have my board up! My personal opinion would be to have the shot taken a little further back showing a little more of the board and numbers. Just my opinion! Good shot, I give it a 10!

Darts is a team sport?
The lowest one should have been in focus. Otherwise, nice composition
