Wish the woman had her eyes more open in this photo.

This is a bit of a snapshot really, composition is lacking and could do with the contrast being boosted. I also don't feel any affection here, the woman almost looks cross with the dog (which is very cute by the way.) A smile from her and a less close-in crop would have helped this shot.

the tight crop works well. I imagine this as the book cover.

Comment by CNovack:
I like that there is some stop action here with the jacks tumbling out of the hand and the one jack hanging in mid-air. Some nice details on the elements of the photo. I wish that there was more of the hand visible so that we could see more action in the scene. Background is a little odd in that it adds a distracting texture to the scene. A flat black would have allowed the jacks to pop more visually. Also, I am a tad confused of how the game of Jacks ties into Jumping Jack(s) (which is is a jumping exercise started by jumping to a position with the legs spread wide and the hands touching overhead and then returning to a position with the feet together and the arms at the sides.) It could be that you did it as a play on words but I'm not sure it succeeds.

I like this idea. I am glad there is some motion blur on the gavel too.

I'd give higher marks if there was more contrast between the petal and the stamen (pistil?)

Very interesting use of news paper for background . Is the camera from the 1920s?
