| The processing accentuates the 70's feel, really suits the image. |

after two days finally I have time for write a comment to this photo! well, I like this image and I think that the processing work. I like the old look. for other things, i don't know if this is a candid photo but I think that there is a setup here. and because there is a setup(as my personal opinion) I find some little possible improvement for the photo.
1) the ball shoud be near the skittles
2) you need a bit of space over the hand
3) a closer crop probably should be better
I admit my blame, i don't like particularry the bowling and I am a poor player(probably I played a couple of times in all my life....) but securely this photo have this sport in his DNA. |

| You want retro Americana here it is, maybe Skeeter Davis singing about the end of her world in the background ,it brings to mind a simpler time.. |

| A great collage of ballet and Armageddon. It is unfortunate Don's personal bartender called in sick the day he first commented on this. |

| LOVE this! Not all of life is about the young, beautiful, club-hopping crowd. Much of it is about the kitschy, homey, fun. :)) |

| maybe you're right... it works for me if I imagine him hurtling through the bowlarama universe like some kind of middle-aged superman... |

| This so perfectly characterizes the bowling alley in all of its glory. |

| Freaky cool editing. My dad would probably love a shot like this hanging in his bowling alley. Cropped a bit tight but whatcha gonna do. I have enjoyed this image. |

| The hideous cosmic bowling art is definitely what makes it for me, too! Very fun shot, and very "bowling", right down to the flair on the follow through. |

| First response was great laughter. Guess I like it for all the reasons posthumous does and doesn't. Possibly because I have always felt bowling was a kitschy sport - well, compared to lawn tennis and polo anyway. |

| The model, of course, is perfect, and you caught him at the exact right moment. Your processing is fine and does indeed give this a retro feel. The hideous cosmic bowling ball art does detract, however. The processing de-emphasizes it a little but also adds a bit of a sickly pall to it. Maybe b/w would de-emphasize it more, though I admit to a bias for b/w so don't trust me. I also wonder if the figure is cropped in too close. |
