Seems to be a little blur or focus problem, but only flightly. Otherise, nicely caught -- the men all look entranced in their game.

This picture looks squished. I find that very unatural.

Would like to see this shot tighter w/o so much extraneous activity in the upper right.

There's a lot going on in this photo, but I like the overall shot and the diversity of the participants.

Nice candid work - great catch on the expressions of the spectator and the player at L bg. Could be half as compressed (looks pretty jpeggy, esp on the board). Did you stretch this vertically to fit the frame? The heads seem elongated.

The focus seems a little off ... but nice, other than that

Good job on actually having people playing the game! How would this have looked shooting over one man's shoulder to make the viewer feel they are part of the game? But it's nice anyway.

This looks like a classic
05/23/2002 11:02:00 AM
Wow! A picture of people actualy playing a game. Good job on a difficult approch to the challenge.

Love the facial expressions A pity there wasn't more contrast between the table and the dominoes

05/22/2002 07:28:00 PM
Nice shot! I like the tree in the background...
05/22/2002 07:14:00 PM
Wish we had something like that here in Wyoming. Looks like alot of fun.
05/22/2002 07:09:00 PM

Good idea, good execution, but something is missing (just a feeling.....) Photo 9 Creativity 8 Games 7 total 8

Good shot I think if you could of taken this with a zoom you may of been able to get more of the background out of focus. Still I like the fact that its a candid shot of people actually playing a game vs a pile of game peices.

05/22/2002 08:25:00 AM
I like this! It's a shame you can't resubmit it for the people challenge... it's a great character shot.

I can't help comparing this photo to the Mah Jongg photo, and finding that this one captures something a lot deeper in the attitudes and expressions of the participants. This really meets the challenge criteria more than most photos I've seen, because it shows us the people playing the games, and we can see the enjoyment, the concentration, the draw of the game, and the tension between the players.

I wish I could explain this better.......but is there something odd going on with the heads of these people? They all look very long??? Maybe I am imagining it.
05/21/2002 05:51:00 AM
Step back one step?
05/20/2002 03:08:00 PM
I am very fond of "found" as opposed to "setup" photographs. Its unfortunate about the background which is distracting.

Good skin tones and cultural story.

This reminds me of my grandfather. He was a dominos champion on Callo Ocho in Little Havana. :)

A great unposed photo opportunity. Shows that dominos is a true thinking man's game.
05/20/2002 06:53:00 AM
feels like a snapshot. slightly out of focus. not very sharp.
05/20/2002 03:36:00 AM
Great candid shot.
