 Distracted while playing Angry Birds on the iPhone.

I've been struggling for hours with the colored version but couldn't remove the cast. Hope I'll remember next time to set proper WB before attempting something like this.

I realize the thumb doesn't represent the picture well :).

As to bvy's question, no smoothing was done on this, it was actually sharpened just a little - I didn't want to lose that motion blur. That and the eyes inside the blur made this worth the effort for me. Also, his cousin's expression watching the game. Heck, I love this photo :).

I really like this image! The priceless expression from his eyes are well balanced by the more fascinating composition of all the hands.

Fair enough. I do like the composition, the moment, the energy...

An interesting candid, but whatever smoothing effect you applied in processing ruins it for me.

this must have been fun. not eye-candy enough to score well, though.
