Grandma's Bowling Alley

All you need to have fun at Grandma's house is some odd bits of

plastic and a little imagination.

 

It took a few tries to get the timing, angle, and lighting just right,

and even then I had to crop off the top to remove a very bright

kitchen light. Any suggestions for improvement?

my biggest gripe with this photo is the clutter behind the boy; some of the clutter is of the same shade (almost) as the boy's clothes, and that makes him hard to see clearly. I like the perspective, and I also like the slightly blurred pins (I think that what they are called, no?) - they contextualize the action, yet they don't detract from the boy...except the very foreground pin - it looks like a big, fuzzy, gray blob. I would suggest shooting it with only the four pins. If you could close a door behind the boy, or put a light-coloured curtain there, the picture would come alive much more. Cheers, Micheal
