| I gave yours my highest vote. I simply loved your picture, I am rather sad that your picture rated so low, it such wonderful picture which I think should have rated much higher. |

For the few of you that were curious, the effect here was to rotate the beachball a 1/2 turn during the exposure, using a strobe light to produce discrete wedges of color rather than a blur. The beachball had 6 sections: red, white, blue, while, yellow, white. Since those are primary colors, I got quite a colorful shot.
In fact, beachballs as I remember them from my childhood were very colorful.

| This is some interesting effects you tried here, but I don't know as if it apeals to me. the lighting is good for the effect used. The angle is ok, might have a more visual impact if the middle of the ball were centered in the photo. Colors are very nice, and reference to childhood is very strong. Good luck in the challenge. |

Wonderful! The lighting is so other-worldly: soft, glowing, beautiful colours. Love the soft lines of overlap and the central "sun" (though would like to see it better centred in frame).
Very noisy photo and background not very even.

| I like the colours but I find it too centered. Have you tried cropping it ? |

| too abstract to be identified as a beachball and relate it to the topic |

| This looks like a Chinese lantern, not a beach ball. |

| Okay, lots of questions here. 1) Is the blur intentional? The fact that it is such a dramatic blur says to me that it must be, but I don't see what it accomplishes. If it is supposed to capture the motion, I find it unsuccesssful due to the angle. 2) What are the speckles? Is this camera noise due to the blur? Perhaps it's sand -- to further the beach theme. If the latter, I think it's not obvious enough and therefore detracts from the photo. 3) Not a question, but I would like the blacks to be blacker. I gave this a one because to me it is a very poor photo. I wanted to say please take no offense, but that's an unrealistic expectation. I hope that my comments have lent some explanation to my score. 1, just-married |

| Interesting shot, but I'd have no idea what it was except for the title. 6. |

| The coloring effect is nice, but for the rest can't make anything of this picture. |

| This is an interesting image... the motion on the ball is nice, but it makes it a bit difficult to determine what it is without the title. Without the title, the image will have a difficult time relaying a sense of 'childhood' to the viewers. - jmsetzler |

| I take your word for it that this is a beach ball. The image is so blurred that I cannot recognize anything. Perhaps the blurring was deliberate and I do like that in part of an image but not that predominantly blurred. Mind you, I'm merely reflecting my own opinion and taste. Journey |

| I can't really tell what this is. It has a cool hypnotising look to it though. |
