Let me assure you, if you were a poker player and saw those hole cards, your pulse rate and blood pressure would undergo an immediate and substantial change -- interest wouldn't begin to describe the sensation.
Of course, things quickly return to normal as you realize that all the other players are holding garbage (you'd pray someone had two aces!).

This is one of my recent entries which are lighter than they should be due to my monitor recently going way out of calibration. It looks better darker.

Thanks -- this was of several recent photos of mine which got over-lightened in post-processing as my monitor was getting far out of calibration. I'll try to post some betteradjusted versions for comparison; also, I have some with the tree to the side -- I considered those, but went for the greater degree of camouflage.
