I think this shot deserved to rank higher.
If you don't mind, I'll tell what I learned in voting on it. When I saw it, I liked the image immediately; but I didn't know what it was. I took a minute and thought about it. When I finally made the connection the photo got better and it was easy to score it a little higher. It's odd, because my official cognitive position is that I try to score a photo based on its visual impact alone, not on whether I understand it. I notice a lot of other people had difficulty recognizing the dartboard, and I wonder how many other voters knocked a point or two off because the thing was not recognizable? I guess this rant isn't germaine to people who just want to make photos they are proud of regardless of how they are received by voters. And I imagine some long-time competitors here who win competitions sometimes shoot to accommodate the phenomenon.
My hope is that for whatever reason there will always be photos that challenge us to think differently. This is what keeps things fresh. Thanks. |

| Not immediately clear that it is a dart board but a great macro all the same |

| Okay I have no clue what double 15 is. There are no TACKS in this image! ;) I like the conversion to black and white and well as the use of a clear tack. The composition is strong even if I have no clue what it is. Tennis? 8 because I like the tones and composition. |

| A fairly well taken photo, but I'm distracted by trying to make sense of the title... |

| This is a great image, although I view the challenge as Plural, more than one tack. |
