I thought this was a great shot. I loved the shallow dof and for me the border worked well. 5.75 is a good score but I think it deserved much higher

very cool, i think if the point was in nice sharp focus i would give it a 10 /8

Composition wise, you might want to consider haveing the dart more to the left and the empty space on the right hand side for the dart to "fly into". Nice and sharp though and neutral background keeps it nice and simple. Interesting border

The missile aspect of this is well-captured and the placement in the frame is excellent. The border you put on, IMO, is unnecessary, though.

quite a capture! Shame about the very narrow DOF here. I would have preferred to see a crop with the dart to the left, giving it somewhere to go.

Nice background and angle of the dart

I'd like to see either more DOF, or if you're going to keep it shallow I'd prefer the tip in focus over the barrel. Not that I think it's all that easy of a shot to take, just my input.

I really like this.

Here the question is if the dart was caught in flight or suspended and just implies motion.

Very nice background and good job on the stopped motion. I'm sure it is heading directly for the tripple 20.
