  Great job, John. Love how the blur changes the color as well as the texture and definition of the balls so that the one you have chosen to focus on really stands out. This could be EOD just as easily as Beautiful Blur. Happy Theme Day.

  Nice way to give a feeling of action to a basket of balls. I can see you had fun with this one. Nice theme image John. I'm thinking I have seen this image before.(?)

  Fantastic theme entry, John; the blur reinforces the notion of movement that is the point of a tennis ball, afterall!

  John, Congratulations on your finalist!
I think it was the feeling of action (zoom blur) that got the judges attention. I'm not a bit suprised that it made a finalist.
Now I'm going over to my favorite yellow leaf....
