Ahhhh, my favorite game. Wish I had a board in my home! Welcome to DPC. This shot has got great focus on the bull which I like. And a great score for your second entry! As far as post processing goes on this shot, I think I would have made the actual dart stand out a bit more. Perhaps light coming in from the side directed on the dart. The color on the bull is great but the rest of the board is kind of blah. Play around with level, brightness/contrast, curves, selective color, etc. Make the blacks blacker and whites whiter giving it more oomf. A bit more shinyness (is that a word?) on the silver lines would have been cool too. I have never actually critiqued a photo since I am relatively new to this myself, but I hope it was of some help. Good luck in future challenges.
