Nikki McDonald level-classic September 05, 2007

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. #4751746

Fantastic theme entry, John; the blur reinforces the notion of movement that is the point of a tennis ball, afterall! #4754690

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.... #4976056
