I like you the rest of the deck is splayed out beneath - gives some 3d interest. But what are you saying about this most wanted card? It is a picture of it, but it doesn;t tell us what to think.

Yes, propoganda, but I don't see anything you did to personalize or make this shot creative. A little twist of the stack does not do that, especially when you bought the propoganda. Give me some more things around it that goes with it, a different angle, or something to not just be a photo from the catologue! Also, very, very flat title, use that option it to your advantage, get creative there as well. The title was very critical in how I judged these pictures, and a simple descritption doesn't help yours at all.

If this is a turnaround of the suggestion that Rumsfeld is the Ace of Spades and Saddam the joker in the pack then I assume the idea of this is to represent the kind of propaganda his supporters might retaliate with?

certainly was an interesting piece of propaganda - war is only a game, after all...irony there. Good response to challenge and yet it is someone else's and someone else's art...

:-) I've seen these all over the place for sale. I even know someone who bought some. This does capture the capitalistic aspect of war. 6 -danny
