Great stuff - interesting scenario plays out in my brain with this one. The Lensbaby fits it perfectly.

One-Eight Combination, Corner Pocket

I was keyboard voting and it recorded my provisional 2 - I think the POV makes it worth more than that as does the focus on the potted ball.

The motion blur works but the lack of clarity of the cloth doesn't serve you well, the red on the potted ball is quite noisy too.

I think most people would count more than three elements too.

Bumping from a 2 to a 4 - I can't really see more merit than that score in it I'm afraid.

Such a strong image - 161st doesn't match my assessment of this image at all. I'd like to offer you this month's WALL?:

I didn't vote in this challenge - but this image is a real treat.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Interesting juxta / superimposition of elements - it does hold the eye for quite a while.

Critical stuff: The image does feel incoherent to me, each element seems to avoid any support for any other to the extent that the image doesn't feel at all 'crafted'. I'm not a fan of your conversion either - the toning seems a little flat.

Overall: I do like images that make use of reflections but this one isn't working for me.

Positives: My word, I love, love, love this! Love the whoosh; love the colours; love the clouds; love the subtle vignette; love the fence ; love the cows!

Critical stuff: Ummm....

Overall: Great image - had instant appeal to me (no need for me to dwell very long at all!!)
